Limitations

edit

The width option sets the initial width of the control. It expands on opening, and has been observed to involve some overlap of adjacent structures. This can be avoided by care in basic layout. The width option should obviously be set to avoid an overtight fitting of the caption.

The content cannot be a Wikitext table, since the pipe symbols confuse the code; use an HTML table instead. Even when the pipe symbol problem is overcome, by using HTML or problem-fixing templates, there will be problems in assigning table styles. For these reasons, avoid the use of tables within DROPIMAGE. A selection of other templates related to this exists in WikiBooks.

Bear in mind that the use of <pre></pre> tags will be needed for preformatted text layout, and if the block of text itself has these same tags within it, the literals should be used to replace the ones within the text. (ie: use these instead; &lt;pre&gt; and &lt;/pre&gt;). This avoids the corrupted functioning which would otherwise result.

Note that for all table-based structures, a white background default is preferred over a transparent one, to avoid the appearance of any heading underlines showing through the table. (See style sheets for more).

The template might benefit from being remade as an HTML table since it would be less sensitive to certain enclosures. In addition, in the event that the source classes become faulty, the control would work well as a collapsible table using the class collapsible.
