Hi!
As I've mentioned in various posts, I've been working on
InfoboxTablesPlugin (1). I needed the functionality of the side
tables, like on WikiPedia, but with more colors. I've been developing
this plugin for a while now and I even completely rewrote it in
between. However, I finally feel comfortable with saying it's done.
There is one little issue with IE not hiding empty lines, but other
than that, it works. I've tested it in IE, Firefox, Waterfox, Safari,
Chrome and Opera on Windows.
While it doesn't really have any dependencies, I do strongly recommend
Eric's NestedSlidersPlugin (2), because it enables the InfoboxInfo
function and the hiding of infobox tables.
What it's for:
Well, same as on WikiPedia, you can enter some quick facts on the
subject of your article. For example, if you're writing about a
person, you can enter their biographical and other information for
quick reference.
What it offers:
*Define custom templates (including colors)
*Shorthand parameters (short keywords that are used instead of the
whole parameter name)
*Adding comments to parameters in the template
*Normal view with the parameter name on one side and the value on the
other
*Side-by-side view, where both sides contain values
*InfoboxInfo (a dropdown menu displaying infobox parameters; for
reference when adding parameters to the macro)
*Hides empty lines (when parameter is unknown), empty sections (when
all parameters in a section are unknown) and the entire table (when
all parameters are unknown)
*Supports multiple infoboxes in a tiddler (of the same or different
type)
*Custom titles
*Error checking (wrong/missing/duplicated IDs)
*Show/hide the table on opening a tiddler
I've added several examples and templates. The documentation is in a
separate tiddler and I hope it's clear enough. If you have any
questions, suggestions or tips, or if you notice a bug, let me know.

Note the date on the previous post:

Based on that date, and the references to TiddlyTools' NestedSlidersPlugin, I can safely say that the InfoBoxPlugin is for TiddlyWiki Classic. If you are interested in having a similar enhanced feature in modern TiddlyWiki (v5.0+), then a new plugin would need to be implemented, using TW5 architecture and syntax.
enjoy,
