The Capiunto (Latin: "they shall contain") extension provides a basic Infobox functionality for Scribunto.

An overview of the Lua methods which Capiunto provides can be found at /Infobox.

Capiunto provides flexible Infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for Infobox features such as headers and rows.

Capiunto is designed for clean and modern Infoboxes. Using Lua as a scripting language for Infobox templates, it was developed to make Infoboxes:

• clean and clutter-free
• usable across different language versions
• driven by data from Wikidata
• easy to maintain and extend

With Capiunto Lua code to create a basic Infobox might look like this:

local capiunto = require 'capiunto'
capiunto.create( {
	title = 'Title of the Infobox'
} )
:addRow( 'A label', 'some data' )
:addHeader( 'A header between the data rows' )
:addRow( 'Another label', 'more data' )

Requirements

Capiunto depends on the Scribunto extension.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted Capiunto folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Capiunto
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Capiunto' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Module (Module:CapiuntoTest)	Template (Template:CapiuntoTest)	Article
local capiunto = require 'capiunto' local p = {} function p.main(frame) local args = frame:getParent().args local headerStyle if args.headerstyle and args.headerstyle ~= '' then headerStyle = string.format('background-color:%s;', args.headerstyle) else headerStyle = 'background-color:grey;' end local retval = capiunto.create( { title = args.title, headerStyle = headerStyle, } ) :addImage( args.image, args.caption ) :addRow( 'Foo', args.foo ) :addHeader( 'A header between the data rows' ) :addRow( 'Bar', args.bar ) return retval end return p	<includeonly>{{#invoke:CapiuntoTest|main}}</includeonly>	{{CapiuntoTest | title = The title | headerstyle = (defaults to background-color:grey) | image = [[File:Example.svg|200px]] | caption = An example image | foo = Something | ("A header between the data rows") | bar = Something else }}
