Parameters

link-n: The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
tab-n: The name of the tab, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
freeform-n: Set freeform-n = yes to allow for arbitrary code in that tab's tab-n entry rather than just being plain text and a link. See below.

The maximum number of available tabs is 20.
To use the next page feature, end the page with the {{end tab}} template.

Each tab needs a link attribute with the title of the page it refers to, and a tab attribute with a label for the tab. If the current page title matches a link then that tab will be styled differently. The freeform attribute can be used with any tab (for instance |freeform-2=yes to allow for a freeform label with multiple internal and external links if desires; otherwise, the text is tab is used as a wikilink to the page specified by link.

Additional options:

frame: Set to yes to add a page frame underneath the tabs. This can be closed by adding </div></div> to the end of the page, or wherever else you want the frame to close.
border: Border style.
