Template:Pre2

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Pre2}} uses <pre> tags, but with text that is either wrapped or is contained in a horizontal scrollbox. This means the text will not stretch past the right side of the screen.

If you want to disable wikitext in it, you should use <nowiki> tags inside the template (see below).

Usage

Wrapped text

{{Pre2|Text to be displayed. And more and more and more... and an empty line

And then more and more...}}

produces:

{{{1}}}

Scrollbox

{{Pre2|scroll|Text to be displayed. And more and more and more... and an empty line.

And then more and more...}}

produces:

{{{1}}}

Style

When the text contains links is better to change the text color, thus highlighting:

{{Pre2|style=color:green|Text to be a [[Hyperlink|link]]. WARNING! To include A{{=}}B inside pf text, you must use Template:{{=}}. Like this: A{{((}}{{=}}{{)}}B.}}

produces:

{{{1}}}

Using wikitext

To disable wikitext (e.g. [[links]]), <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags must be used in the form:

{{Pre2|<nowiki>Your [[text]]{{dn|name=Pre2}}, which ''might'' include {{tl|templates}}.<noinclude>[[Category:Example]]</noinclude></nowiki>}}

This will produce this:

{{{1}}}

as opposed to (note, that <noinclude>...</noinclude> part is no present):

{{{1}}}
