This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
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, <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. <hr />); in HTML5 these are now known as "void" elements, though "empty" is the more common term.
|content=
Text to place between open/start and close/end tags.
|attribs=
Attributes and values to be included as part of an open/start tag (this parameter can also be called |params=).
Link to the element's entry at the HTML element article, e.g.ᥗᥦᥛᥰ ᥙᥣ ᥘᥥᥐᥳ:Colon {{Tag|del|link=y}} produces: <del>...</del> This is only for HTML elements; the page is hard-coded, so it cannot be used for, e.g., XML elements from a particular schema. If desired, a feature for specifying the link page can be added.
For a global use of this template in other sister or Wikimedia projects, after copying it to paste in the destination project, remember to change in the code:
To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, ᥗᥦᥛᥰ ᥙᥣ ᥘᥥᥐᥳ:Braces should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with ᥗᥦᥛᥰ ᥙᥣ ᥘᥥᥐᥳ:Braces above
To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
To showcase with colors in horizontal format the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within ᥗᥦᥛᥰ ᥙᥣ ᥘᥥᥐᥳ:Braces, use <code>...</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: someMethod becomes ᥗᥦᥛᥰ ᥙᥣ ᥘᥥᥐᥳ:Codett
To showcase with colors and multiple lines (vertical format) the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
