This is a documentation subpage for Template:Code. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
Wraps a short span of text in <syntaxhighlight>
tags (see mw:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi). This template should be used for short samples; longer content should use <pre>...</pre>
or <source>...</source>
. See Help:Wiki markup for an explanation of what the various tags do.[clarification needed]
If the content includes an equals sign (=), you must specify the parameter explicitly: {{code|1=date=30 Feb 2010}}
.
The template uses the <syntaxhighlight>
tag with the attribute enclose="none"
. This works like the combination of the <code>
and <nowiki>
tags, applied to the expanded wikitext. For example, {{code|some '''wiki''' text}}
will not render the word "wiki" in bold, and will render the tripled-single-quotes:
some wiki text
However, {{code|a {{template}} call}}
will still invoke the template:
a {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}} call
This template does not need to be substituted.
Use parameter {{{2}}} or {{{lang}}} to specify a language for Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi. This option defaults to plain-text i.e. no highlighting.
Examples

Lorem {{code|ipsum '''dolor'''}} sit amet |

The declaration {{code |lang=cpp |int foo(const std::string& bar, const std::vector<long double*>& baz);}} is the prototype for a function defined later. |
The declaration int foo(const std::string& bar, const std::vector<long double*>& baz); is the prototype for a function defined later.
|
If the code contains an [[equals sign]], such as {{code |lang=javascript |code=var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img");}}, you must identify the first parameter explicitly as {{{1}}} or {{{code}}}; see also [[:bugzilla:5138]]. |
If the code contains an equals sign, such as var img = document.getElementsByTagName("img"); , you must identify the first parameter explicitly as {{{1}}} or {{{code}}}; see also bugzilla:5138.
