This template includes collapsible lists.

• To set it——to display all lists when it appears (i.e. all lists expanded), use:
{{Thermodynamics sidebar |expanded=all}} or, "if enabled," {{Thermodynamics sidebar |all}} (i.e. omitting "expanded=").

• To set it to display one particular list while keeping the remainder collapsed (i.e. hidden apart from their headings), use:
{{Thermodynamics sidebar |expanded=listname}} or, "if enabled," {{Thermodynamics sidebar |listname}}
…where listname is one of the following (do not include any quotemarks):
