Template:Tag

The following documentation is located at Template:Tag/doc. [<Edit> Template:Tag/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:Tag]

The {{tag}} typing-aid template provides a quick way to mention an XHTML (XML-style HTML) tag in a preformatted way. Mainly used in discussion/help pages.

Usage

{{tag|tag|type}}

or

{{tag|tag|type|content = content|attribs = attribs}}

or

{{tag|tag = tag|type = type|content = content|attribs = attribs}}

where

• first parameter or tag (mandatory): the name of the XHTML tag (or of the comment start !--);
• second parameter or type: what type of tag to display, i.e.
  • p or pair (default) (display a matched pair of open-and-close tags, e.g. <font>...</font>)

  (to suppress the ellipsis which appears between the tags, add an empty content = parameter),

  • o or open (display only the opening tag of an open-and-close pair, e.g. <span>),
  • c or close (display only the closing tag of an open-and-close pair, e.g. </span>),
  • s or single (display a single tag, e.g. <br />);
• content: the text content of the tags;
• attribs: any attributes to be included in the opening tag.

  From Wikipedia (slightly edited, e.g. attribs (XHTML attributes is the proper term) instead of params)

  Opening tag

• {{HTML Element}}
• {{XML Element}}
• {{xtag}} adds a MediaWiki parser (or parser extension) tag that links to the parser (or parser extension) page.
• The #tag: parser function generates delayed XHTML tags, which allows templates, parser functions and magic words to be used inside a tag that normally doesn't, e.g. the <math>...</math> tag.<tag>...</tag>
