Template:Tag/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tag. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Tag}} provides a quick way to mention an XML/HTML-style tag in a preformatted way. Mainly used in discussion/help pages.

Usage

Required parameters shown in bold italics.

|first unnamed=  (tagname above)

The XML/HTML tag's name (e.g. 100%, 100%).

|second unnamed=  (type above}

To indicate which of the tag's types is/are presented:

p  (pair) (default)

A matching pair of open/start and close/end tags (e.g. <div>...</div>).
To suppress the ellipsis ("...") between the tags, add an empty |content= parameter.

o  (open)

An open/start tag (e.g. <span>).

c  (close)

A close/end tag (e.g. </span>).

e  (empty)  or  s  (single)  or  v  (void)

An empty element, formed with a single self-terminating tag (e.g. <hr />); in HTML5 these are now known as "void" elements, though "empty" is the more common term.

|content=

Text to place between open/start and close/end tags.

|attribs=

Attributes and values to be included as part of an open/start tag (this parameter can also be called |params=).

|wrap=yes

Disable nowrap for long samples.

|link=yes

Link to the element's entry at the HTML element article on Wikipedia, e.g. {{Tag|del|link=y}} produces: <del>...</del>. This is only for HTML elements; the page is hard-coded, so it cannot be used for, e.g., XML elements from a particular schema. If desired, a feature for specifying the link page can be added.
