You can have as many tabs/panels as you like, tab_1 through tab_N, but you don't need more than two (well, technically you only need one, but then why bother?). It may also get cluttered if you have too many tabs, but that's a matter of taste. contents_# can be as complicated as you like, as long as nothing is left open.

The appearance can be adjusted further by writing custom css.
