The Capiunto (Latin: "they shall contain") extension provides a basic Infobox functionality for Scribunto.

An overview of the Lua methods which Capiunto provides can be found at /Infobox.

Capiunto provides flexible Infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for Infobox features such as headers and rows.

Capiunto is designed for clean and modern Infoboxes. Using Lua as a scripting language for Infobox templates, it was developed to make Infoboxes:

• easy to maintain and extend

With Capiunto Lua code to create a basic Infobox might look like this:

local capiunto = require 'capiunto'
capiunto.create( {
	title = 'Title of the Infobox'
} )
:addRow( 'A label', 'some data' )
:addHeader( 'A header between the data rows' )
:addRow( 'Another label', 'more data' )

Requirements

Capiunto depends on the Scribunto extension.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Capiunto in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Capiunto' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Example usage

local capiunto = require 'capiunto'

local p = {}

function p.main(frame)
	local args = frame:getParent().args
	local headerStyle
	if args.headerstyle and args.headerstyle ~= '' then
		headerStyle = string.format('background-color:%s;', args.headerstyle)
	else
		headerStyle = 'background-color:grey;'
	end
	local retval = capiunto.create( {
		title = args.title,
		headerStyle = headerStyle, 
	} )
	:addImage( args.image, args.caption )
	:addRow( 'Foo', args.foo )
	:addHeader( 'A header between the data rows' )
	:addRow( 'Bar', args.bar )
	return retval
end

return p

<includeonly>{{#invoke:CapiuntoTest|main}}</includeonly>

{{CapiuntoTest
| title       = The title
| headerstyle = (defaults to background-color:grey)
| image       = [[File:Example.svg|200px]]
| caption     = An example image
| foo         = Something
| ("A header between the data rows")
| bar         = Something else
}}
