Template:Markup

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

This template is used to present markup or code side by side with the output it renders.

Usage

Each cell in the first ("Markup") column uses <pre> to retain newlines and spaces but styled to allow content to wrap within it. It is usually desirable to escape the content of these cells so that the markup is displayed by wrapping the markup in <nowiki>. It is technically not possible to add this feature to the template.

Each cell in the second ("Renders as") column is usually the unescaped markup copied from the corresponding "Markup" cell before it. There are instances where this may differ:

• If the first line includes wikimarkup that must start on a new line such as #, * or ; then use <nowiki /> before the first line; see examples below.
• Header markup such as == will show in the page table of contents; use {{fake heading}}.
• Some templates will place the page in a maintenance category, which is usually undesired:
  • Instead of {{citation needed}}, use {{fake citation needed}}.
• Some templates may have error checking that places the page in a maintenance category. Suppress the category as possible:
  • Citation Style 1 templates can suppress the maintenance category by setting |template doc demo=true.

Limitations

<nowiki>

If you don't wrap the content of the markup cell in <nowiki>, then any template markup will not be escaped, it will be expanded.

This example shows the markup for {{tl|tag}}:

Renders as [[:Template:	Expected renderingTemplate:For loop

HTML entities

HTML entities are parsed in the markup cell:

Nowikied markup shows as [[:Template:	Expected markupTemplate:For loop

To work around this, replace the & with & thus   will show as  

Examples

Simple

Markup [[:Template:	Renders asTemplate:For loop

Short cut

See Template:Mra.

Enter this:

{{subst:mra|'''Bold text'''|''Italic text''}}

To make this:

{{markup|
<nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki>|'''Bold text'''|
<nowiki>''Italic text''</nowiki>|''Italic text''}}

Which renders as:

Markup [[:Template:	Renders asTemplate:For loop

More complex

Note that Template:Tl2's second argument here uses Template:Tl2 and Template:Tl2.

Markup [[:Template:	Renders asTemplate:For loop

Multiple rows

Markup [[:Template:	Renders asTemplate:For loop

With title

Foxes and dogs

Markup [[:Template:	Renders asTemplate:For loop

Showing rendered HTML

When a template is enclosed within {{code}}, it shows the rendered HTML:

Markup [[:Template:	Renders asTemplate:For loop

See also

• {{Markup2}} for bulleted and indented markup.
• {{Markupv}} for the vertical presentation (above/below) of markup/code and its output.
• {{Automarkup}} does not require to write the code samples twice.
