Template:Mono/doc

Usage

{{mono|text to format here}}

renders as:

text to format here

This template is for formatting short bits of content (the only parameter) as monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is simply a quick shorthand for the necessary CSS code. It is a replacement for Template:Tag, which is an obsolete element under HTML5. (Non-conforming features)

This template Template:Em be used where the content is being rendered in monospaced text for purely stylistic/display reasons, where this display has no particular semantic significance.

It Template:Em be used to indicate information with these semantics:

• source code, use {{code}} or Template:Tag instead
• variables or variable input, use {{var}} or Template:Tag instead
• keyboard input, use {{kbd}} or Template:Tag instead
• sample output, use {{samp}} or Template:Tag instead

It Template:Em be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses Template:Tag, which is an inline element. Use {{monodiv}} and {{pre}} for multiple blocks of text, or use multiple instances of {{Mono}} for each individual line.

When the content ends with a single closing curly brace (}), the content should be followed by <nowiki/>, for example, to mark up {foo}, use Template:Tlc or Template:Tlc.

If the content contains pipe characters (|) not surrounded by Template:Tag, they must be escaped with | or {{!}}.

Parameters

There are two parameters:

|1= or unnamed

The content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a = character, the parameter must be numbered or the template will break. (The parameter does not need to be numbered if the = character is surrounded by Template:Tag, or if it is escaped as =.) For backward compatibility with an old, merged-in template, this parameter can also be called |2=.

|needs_review=yes

Used (e.g. by bots or AWB scripts) to indicate replacement of now-obsolete Template:Tag markup with Template:Tnull markup. This template displays nothing and presently does no categorization, though a cleanup category can be created if necessary. It indicates that the markup may need to be changed to something more semantically meaningful, such as Template:Tag, Template:Tag, or Template:Tag.
