Description
Usage
- Define where tabs should be rendered {{tabs idsToLabels='tabId1=Tab One, tabId2=Tab Two, ..., tabIdN=Tab N' /}}
- Define tabs content in (%id="<unique tab id>"%)(((<tab content here>))):
(%id="tabId1"%)(((Tab 1 Content)))
(%id="tabId2"%)(((Tab 2 Content)))
...
(%id="tabIdN"%)(((Tab N Content)))
Parameters definition

- Layout consistency is dependent on white-spaces ("Interesting layout bugs" section of the installed macro home-page)

Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.
You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:
- Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
- Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
- Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
- Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
- You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
