Template documentation[view][edit][history][purge]
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Mono/doc. Changes can be proposed in the talk page.

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 Template:WP code. It is a replacement for Template:Tag which is an obsolete element under HTML5. (Non-conforming features)

This template should 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 should not be used to indicate source code, nor for variables or variable input (use Template:Tag or Template:Tag for code and Template:Tag for variables). For keyboard or samples, use Template:Tag or Template:Tag respectively.

It cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses Template:Tag, which is an inline element. See {{Monoblock}} for a <div>-based block version. Or, multiple instances of {{Mono}} can be invoked.

Parameters

There are two parameters
Template:Para or unnamed – the content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a = character, the parameter must be numbered or the template will break. For backward compatibility with an old, merged-in template, this parameter can also be called Template:Para.
Template:Para – used (e.g. by Template:WP or Template:WP scripts) to indicate replacement of now-obsolete Template:Tag markup with {{mono|...}} 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.
