Template:Guide to Unix

How to use

This navigation template appears wherever the tag {{Guide to Unix}} is placed on a wiki page. The intention is to put this at the top of each page linked from it. This alerts readers that the page is part of a larger book, and provides links.

The template looks like:

Wikibooks Guide to Unix Computing

Edit template

General: Introduction | Why Unix-like
Platforms: Linux | BSD
Quick Reference: Commands | Environment Variables | Files | License

How it works

The text is centered. The CSS for a green background is attached to the <center> tag. The top line (with the book title and "Edit template") line is made possible with a table using the wiki table syntax. The table has full 100% width; the left, center, and right cells are 20%, 60%, and 20% width and have left, center, and right text alignments.
