Warning

This template should not be used in main article space, as it renders any content obscured within the template unprintable. This is especially true with text content, such as citations, according to a June 2007 discussion.

Please, if you see a scroll box in article space, remove it and put a hidden warning.

Description

This scrolling list template creates a scroll-box within a page that allows for large content to be limited to a given number of pixels on the page. Examples:

• Photo gallery: La Spezia (on it.wiki)
• Photo gallery: Pertini (same as above)

To edit the size of captions, you may use the following code:

<div style="clear:both; text-align:center; font-size:90%">........</div>

Usage

{{scroll box
|width=width (in pixel or in percent)
|height=height (in pixel)
|text=contents
}}

The colored text should be properly replaced as here described:

width

The width of the box, expressed in pixel or in percent. (default=100%)

height

The height of the box, you should express this value exclusively in pixel. (default=230px)

contents

The text that should be displayed inside this frame. Note that the scroll bar will appear only if the text is long enough to overflow the given height. (required field, no default value)
