==Usage==<br />
<br />
===Opening a single subsection===<br />
{{collapsible sections option<br />
|list= {{hlist |building |civility |notability |humour}}<br />
|default=<br />
|example=}}<br />
<br />
Example of the syntax to show (uncollapse) any of the subsections:<br />
<br />
* {{tnull|Wikipedia essays|building}}<br />
* {{tnull|Wikipedia essays|civility}}<br />
* {{tnull|Wikipedia essays|notability}}<br />
* {{tnull|Wikipedia essays|humour}}<br />
<br />
For example, {{tnull|Wikipedia essays|notability}} will produce:<br />
{{Wikipedia essays|notability}}<br />
<br />
===Opening multiple subsections===<br />
To show multiple, or all of, the subsections at once, use state<sub>{{var|n}}</sub>, e.g.:<br />
<br />
* {{tnull|Wikipedia essays|state{{=}}expanded|state1{{=}}collapsed|state2{{=}}collapsed|state3{{=}}expanded|state4{{=}}collapsed|state5{{=}}collapsed}}<br />
<br />
Parameter <code>state</code> controls the entire template; <code>state1</code> controls the building essays; <code>state2</code> controls the civility essays; <code>state3</code> controls the notability essays; <code>state4</code> controls the humour essays; <code>state5</code> controls the 'About essays' section. These can be set to <code>expanded</code> or <code>collapsed</code>. The above example will produce this:<br />
<br />
{{Wikipedia essays|state=expanded|state1=collapsed|state2=collapsed|state3=expanded|state4=collapsed|state5=collapsed}}<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />

* {{tl|Civility}}<br />
* {{tl|Essays on notability}} <br />
* {{tl|Humorous essays}}<br />
* {{tl|User essays}}<br />
