Syntax Rules

%TREEVIEW{}% displays topic children in a hierarchical tree
%TREE{}% synonym of %TREEVIEW{}%

Parameter	Description	Default
`web`	The web to search.	current web
`topic`	Specify tree's root topic. If none the entire web topics' tree is generated	none
`formatting`	Specify the formatting method `ullist` is a <ul>-list, see sample UL lists `ollist` is a <ol>-list, see sample OL lists `outline` is an outline list, see sample Outlines `hlist` is a <hn>-list of section heads, see sample Headlines `coloroutline:colorlist` is an outline formatting with level values turned into colors, see sample Nested tables. Example: `formatting="coloroutline:#ffeeff,#eeffee,#ffffee,#eeeeff,#ffeeee,#eeffff"` `imageoutline:mode` is a way to incorporate images into the outline format, specifically to display thread-like and folder views, see sample Image Trees. The general format is: imageoutline: mode : images : imageformat. Example: `formatting="imageoutline:thread"` or `formatting="imageoutline:thread:I.gif,white.gif,T.gif,L.gif:<img src=\"$image\" border=\"0\">"`.	`outline`
`excludetopic`	Same meaning as VarSEARCH `excludetopic`. Topics with excluded parent or processed like topic without parent.	none
`includetopic`	Same meaning as VarSEARCH `topic`. Can improve processing time.	none
`startlevel`	The depth of the tree to start showing nodes from. To hide the root node, supply `startlevel="1"` (root is level 0). The displayed node depths are relative to the root topic.	`0` or `1` if `topic` is not specified
`stoplevel`	The depth of the tree to show, relative to start level.	`999`
`header`	If specified output the value within a `<div>` of class `treePluginHeader`.	none
`bookview`	List topics in BookView form	none
`format`	Specify the format for each node (`outline` & `coloroutline`). The following pseudo-variable are supported on top of the ones described in FormattedSearch: `$spacetopic` - the topic with spaces `$level` - the tree depth of the topic (in whatever format) `$count` - the topic's child position `$index` - the index of the topic in the tree. Starts from one. Most useful when used in combination with TreeBrowserPlugin `$onum` - outline number for the topic (eg, 1.3.4.2) `$url` - the current topic's URL `$author` - the topic's last author Not supported from v0.9. Use `%AUTHOR%` instead. `$modTime` - the topic's modification time. Not supported from v0.9	none
`formatbranch`	- specify the format for a group of children (`outline` & `coloroutline`) `$parent` - the text of a node `$children` - the text of all the node's children (if any)	none
`levelprefix`	Specify a prefix to a node format. The prefix is inserted `$level` times at the beginning of the rendered node format. It allows generation of trees using TWiki bullet list syntax thus enabling usage of TreePlugin in combination with TreeBrowserPlugin.	none
`nodiv`	Suppress the `<div>` around the tree. Allows for trees concatenation.	none

Samples

See the following pages for sample usage and output.

Usage

%TREE{web="Sandbox" formatting="ullist"}%

%TREE{web="Sandbox"}%

%TREE{excludetopic="Web*" formatting="outline" format="* [[$topic][$spacetopic]]" levelprefix="   " startlevel="1"}%

Combination with TreeBrowserPlugin

%TREEBROWSER{"file" title="%WEB%"}%
%TREEVIEW{web="%WEB%" topic="GrandParent" formatting="outline" format="* $topic" levelprefix=" "}%

Performance consideration

For each %TREE% or %TREEVIEW% tag a VarSEARCH at topic scope is performed. To reduce the scope of that search one can use includetopic and excludetopic. Those two parameters should be used by TreePlugin users worried about performance. In fact they can potently greatly reduce the processing time.

For instance if you know that every topic in your tree has a common prefix you can easily make use of includetopic. Also when generating web tree you may want to excludetopic prefixed with Web.
