Template:Semantic markup templates

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 word"	To indicate <em> stress emphasis (instead of / as well as typographical italicization).
{{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, {{varserif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction.
{{varserif}}	`strIllustratePrefix`	(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") as prose.
{{code}}	"Ensure the `alt=` parameter..."	To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use `<code>...</code>`.
{{subst:codenowiki}}	<code><nowiki> `code` ... ...</nowiki></code>	To wrap example code in `<code>` and nested `<nowiki>` tags.
{{syntaxhighlight}}		( 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 {{dc\|red{{=}}y}} uses red (~~<blink>~~).
{{pre}}		For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text.
{{bq}}		For indented blocks of content, such as block quotations, examples, poems, etc.
{{kbd}}	`user input`	To indicate user input.
{{key press}}	`CtrlX`	To indicate specific-keystroke input.
{{PlayStation key press}}	`×`	To indicate PlayStation-style gamepad key presses.
{{samp}}	`example output`	To indicate sample or example output.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Intended for transclusion at the end of the documentation for each of the main Semantic markup templates, e.g. as part of a "See also" section such as:

Initial visibility

To set the template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

|state=collapsed: {{Semantic markup templates|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: {{Semantic markup templates|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: {{Semantic markup templates|state=autocollapse}}
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbar}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page

If the |state= parameter is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the template. For this template, that currently evaluates to collapsed.
