Template:Doc/start

Usage

{{tt|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 CSS 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 cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses Template:Tag, which is an inline element.

Template:Tag is normally used to indicate source code and Template:Tag for variables or variable input.
Template:Tag and Template:Tag display similarly to Template:Tag, and are normally used for keyboard and samples.

For example:

  • {{tt|123<br/>ABC}}

produces

  • 123
    ABC

rather than

  • 123
    ABC

Parameter

{{{1}}} or unnamed
The content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a = character, {{=}} must be used instead.


Note: Copied from wikipedia:Template:Mono, renamed to 'tt' because it replaces the tt tag.
