This template generates a navigation box for data types.
Usage
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{Data types|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Data types|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Examples
Some of many special data types are listed below. These are best accessed through the parent articles, e.g., double precision from floating point, etc. Please do not add them to the template without good reason. Use Category:Data types instead.
