elev_change_m | |
highest_m | Elevation of highest point on trail, in either meters or feet (will autoconvert). For information on the use of units see Manual of Style Units. |
highest_ft | |
highest_name | Name of highest point in trail (for use with highest_ft or highest_m) |
highest | Free field for highest point in trail, use when citations is needed |
lowest_m | Similar to highest_ etc., except describing the lowest point of the trail |
lowest_ft | |
lowest_name | |
lowest | |
grade | The grade in percent, typical with former railroad right-of-ways |
difficulty | The difficulty of the trail for a typical healthy person based on a reliable source |
season | The season(s) that the trail may be hiked, or is easily accessible |
months | The months that the trail may be hiked, or is easily accessible |

Embed inside another infobox
The trail infobox can be embedded inside another infobox for seamless display of info. For example, a trail that is also a protected area, such as the Kal-Haven Trail. See the testcases for more examples.
Inserting the trail infobox inside the parent infobox
The trail infobox can only be inserted after certain field values of the parent template. Specifically, only after fields whose values are not passed to another template by the parent templates source code. In other words, the parent templates source code for the field has to output the fields' value without passing it to a template. This may require examining the parent templates source code. It is ok to insert after field values that contain internal [[]]
and external links []
.
Example:
{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;" |- |{{Infobox protected area | name = Kal-Haven Trail ... | governing_body = <div>[[Michigan Department of Natural Resources]]</div> {{Infobox trail | embed = yes | cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em; | name = Kal-Haven Trail | length = {{convert|34.5|mi|km|1}} ... }} }} |}
Note the <div> tag surrounding the governing_body wiki link. It is needed to reduce the vertical spacing between the governing_body field and the first hiking trail field, in this case, length.
Parent infobox encapsulation
The parent infobox needs to be encapsulated in a table as in the above example.
{| style="float:right; clear:right; border:0; margin:-0.5em 0 0 0;" |- |(parent infobox) |}
Parameters
Field name | Description |
---|---|
embed |
Set to embed = yes when embedding inside another Infobox.
|
cellstyle |
Set to a class/style that matches the outer Infoboxes cell class/style so that the columns line up properly. Example for using with {{Infobox protected area}}:cellstyle = padding:0.1em 0.3em;
|
title |
A first colored header before the main infobox, used when embedded, to show the trail name |
