Tabbed views

The tabs shortcode displays arbitrary content in unlimited number of tabs. This comes in handy eg. for providing code snippets for multiple languages or providing configuration in different formats.

print("Hello World!")

echo "Hello World!"

Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{< tabs >}}
{{% tab name="python" %}}
```python
print("Hello World!")
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="bash" %}}
```bash
echo "Hello World!"
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

{{ partial "shortcodes/tabs.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "tabs" (slice
    (dict
      "name" "python"
      "content" ("```python\nprint(\"Hello World!\")\n```" | markdownify)
    )
    (dict
      "name" "bash"
      "content" ("```bash\necho \"Hello World!\"\n```" | markdownify)
    )
  )
)}}

Parameter

Name	Default	Notes
groupid	`default`	Arbitrary name of the group the tab view belongs to. Tab views with the same groupid sychronize their selected tab. This sychronization applies to the whole site!
<content>	<empty>	Arbitrary number of tabs defined with the `tab` sub-shortcode.

Note

When using tab views with different content sets, make sure to use a common groupid for equal sets of tabs but distinct groupid for different sets.

The tab selection is restored automatically based on the groupid and if it cannot find a tab item because it came from the 'default' group on a different page then the first tab is selected instead.

Examples

Distinct `groupid`

{{< tabs groupid="config" >}}
{{% tab name="json" %}}
```json
{
  "Hello": "World"
}
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="XML" %}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="properties" %}}
```properties
Hello = World
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

{
  "Hello": "World"
}

<Hello>World</Hello>

Hello = World

Non-Distinct `groupid`

See what happens to this tab view if you select properties tab from the previous example.

{{< tabs groupid="config" >}}
{{% tab name="json" %}}
```json
{
  "Hello": "World"
}
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab name="XML" %}}
```xml
<Hello>World</Hello>
```
{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

{
  "Hello": "World"
}

<Hello>World</Hello>

Nested Tabs

In case you want to nest tabs, the parent tab that contains the subtabs needs to be declared with {{< tab >}} instead of {{% tab %}}. Note, that in this case it is not possible to put markdown in the parent tab.

{{< tabs groupid="main" >}}
{{< tab name="Text" >}}
  Simple text is possible here...
  {{< tabs groupid="tabs-example-language" >}}
  {{% tab name="python" %}}
  Python is **super** easy.

  - most of the time.
  - if you don't want to output unicode
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{% tab name="bash" %}}
  Bash is for **hackers**.
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{< /tabs >}}
{{< /tab >}}

{{< tab name="Code" >}}
  ...but no markdown
  {{< tabs groupid="tabs-example-language" >}}
  {{% tab name="python" %}}
  ```python
  print("Hello World!")
  ```
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{% tab name="bash" %}}
  ```bash
  echo "Hello World!"
  ```
  {{% /tab %}}
  {{< /tabs >}}
{{< /tab >}}
{{< /tabs >}}
