Template:Tag

Syntax

{{tag|tagname [|type] [|content=text] [|attribs=attributes and values]}}

(square brackets = optional)

{{tag|div|content=<nowiki><span>...</span></nowiki>}}

<code><nowiki><div><span>...</span></div></nowiki></code>

Parameters

|1=  (tagname above) (required)

The XML/HTML tag's name (e.g. code, ref). Use special value !-- for an HTML comment.

|2=  (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. For example, {{tag|div|p|content=}} produces <div></div>.

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. use {{tag|hr|s}} to render <hr />); in HTML5 these are now known as "void" elements, though "empty" is the more common term.

|content=

Text to place between, after, before or inside (depending on |type=) the tag(s). To suppress any text between the tags, supply an empty parameter: |content=. The default changes with the type. For |2=pair the default is the ellipsis ("..."). For |2=open and |2=close, the default is nothing, as if |content=. For |2=single the default is a single space.

|attribs= or |params=

Attributes and values to be included as part of an open/start tag. This parameter is ignored if |2=close

|wrap=yes

Disable nowrap for long samples, so allowing wraps (line breaks).

|link=yes

Link to the element's entry in the HTML element article. This is only for HTML elements; the page for the link is hard-coded.

|style=

Replace the default CSS style. Use special value |style=plain as a shortcut for border:none; background:transparent.
