Template:Semantic markup templates: Difference between revisions

Semantic markup templates

Template	Example output	Use
{{strong}}	Important!	To indicate <strong> importance, seriousness, or urgency instead of just simple typographical boldfacing
{{strongbad}}	"Never use ..."	Same as {{strong}} but in red
{{stronggood}}	"Only use ..."	Same as {{strong}} but in green
{{em}}	"An emphatic phrase"	To indicate <em> stress emphasis (not just purely typographical italicization like for book titles or foreign terms)
{{var}}	`strPrefix`	To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
{{var serif}}	Template:Var serif	(see {{var}} above)
{{tld}}	`{{DEFAULTSORT:Y, X}}`	To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code
{{para}}	`\|year=2008`	To display template parameters with or without values
{{param}}	`{{{title\|alt}}}`	To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above
{{tlx}} etc.	`{{Template\|1\|2\|...\|10}}`	To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code
{{tag}}	"The `<img>...</img>` tags ..."	To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose
{{code}}/{{codett}}	"Ensure the `alt=` parameter ..."	To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use `<code>...</code>`. {{codett}} differs only in styling: `someMethod` becomes `someMethod`
{{subst:codenowiki}}	`{{small\|small text}}`	To wrap example code in `<code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>`
{{subst:kbdnowiki}}	`{{big\|big text}}`	To wrap example code in `<kbd><nowiki>...</nowiki></kbd>`
{{syntaxhighlight}}	_{[this is a block template]}	( or `{{sxhl}}` ) Wrapper for `<syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>`, but will wrap overflowing text
{{deprecated code}}	"Do not use `<blink>`."	( or `{{dc}}` ) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The `{{dc2}}` variant uses strike-through (`<blink>`) while `{{dcr}}` uses red (`<blink>`).
{{pre}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text
{{quote}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For block quotations (only – never for non-quotations)
{{block indent}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For indented blocks of material; visually identical to `{{quote}}` but without quote markup
{{kbd}}	`user input`	To indicate user input
{{key press}}	`Ctrl`+`x`	To indicate specific-keystroke input, including combinations
{{key top}}	`Left shift`	Similar; includes more symbols, but does not directly support combinations
{{PlayStation key press}}	Template:PlayStation key press	To indicate PlayStation-style gamepad key presses
{{button}}	`Don't save`	To indicate a button in a user interface
{{samp}}	`example output`	To indicate sample or example output
