Notes

Note the bit about

yax1 = point 1.5 of p0;
yax2 = (1.5+axisprotrusion/u)[yax0,yax1];

That gets the right point on the circumference curve.

And oh fuggles, I found out how to draw ellipses (http://www.ursoswald.ch/metapost/tutorial/CircleParametrization.html). Dashed fine timing...

Styling navboxes.

This is the code for a navbox (Template:Toolband), or will be with the changed outlined in Bugzilla:1707.

{| align=center class="toccolours"
! [[Tool (band)|Tool]]
|-
|align=center|[[Maynard James Keenan]] | [[Adam Jones]] | [[Danny Carey]] | [[Justin Chancellor]] | [[Paul d'Amour]]
|-
![[Tool (band)#Discography|Discography]]
|-
|align=center|''[[Opiate (album)|Opiate]]'' | ''[[Undertow]]'' | ''[[Ænima]]'' | ''[[Salival]]'' | ''[[Lateralus]]''
|-
!Popular Songs
|-
|align=center|"[[Stinkfist]]" | "[[Schism]]" | "[[Sober (song)|Sober]]"
|-
!Related articles
|-
|align=center|''[[Progressive rock]]'' | ''[[A Perfect Circle]]'' | ''[[Peach (band)|Peach]]''
|}

This is how it renders.

Tool
Maynard James Keenan | Adam Jones | Danny Carey | Justin Chancellor | Paul d'Amour
Discography
Opiate | Undertow | Ænima | Salival | Lateralus
Popular Songs

Now, a user stylesheet could change that around to look like

if they, I dunno, really liked limes or something, or thought the small text crammed into the body of the box was a poor idea. Someone with actual CSS skills could probably do something much, much cooler. The idea, really, is to allow navboxes to be written with purely semantic markup, styled after the fact with CSS. (The same might be possible with meta-templates, but CSS is really the place for it.)
