Template:Tag/doc

This template provides a quick way to mention an XML-style tag in a preformatted way. Mainly used in discussion/help pages.

Usage

• first parameter — (mandatory) the name of the HTML tag
• second parameter — what type of tag to display:
  • p or pair – (default) display a matched pair of open-and-close tags: <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: <span>
  • c or close – display only the closing tag of an open-and-close pair: </span>
  • s or single – display a single tag: <br />
• content= — the text content of the tags
• params= — any parameters to be included in the opening tag

Examples

• {{tag|ref}} → <ref>...</ref>
• {{tag|ref|content=}} → <ref></ref>
• {{tag|ref|content=hello}} → <ref>hello</ref>
• {{tag|font|content=foo}} → <font>foo</font>
• {{tag|font|open}} → <font>
• {{tag|font|open|content=hello}} → <font>hello
• {{tag|span|close|content=hello}} → hello</span>
