Template:Semantic markup templates

Semantic markup templates

Template	Example output	Use
{{strong}}	strong semantic emphasis	To indicate <strong> emphasis instead of (or as well as) simple typographical boldfacing.
{{strongbad}}	"Never use..."	Same as {{strong}} but in red.
{{stronggood}}	"Only use..."	Same as {{strong}} but in green.
{{em}}	mild semantic emphasis	As per {{strong}} but for the milder <em> emphasis (instead of / as well as typographical italicization).
{{var}}	`strPrefix`	To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variables except those whose names include "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L), where {{varserif}} below should be used instead to ensure a distinction between these letters is noticeable.
{{varserif}}	Template:Varserif	(see {{var}} above)
{{wikivar}}	Template:Wikivar Template:Wikivar	To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code.
{{para}}	`\|title=` `\|year=2008`	To display template parameters with or without values.
{{param}}	`{{{title}}}` `{{{title\|alt}}}` etc.	To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above.
{{tlx}} etc.	`{{Template\|first parameter\|...}}`	To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code.
{{tag}}	"With HTML `<img>...</img>` tags..."	To render HTML elements ("tags") as prose.
{{code}}	"Always include the `alt=` parameter..."	To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use `<code>...</code>`.
{{subst:codenowiki}}	Template:Plaincode	To wrap example code in `<code>` and nested `<nowiki>` tags.
{{syntaxhighlight}}		(Template:Thinsp) Wrapper for `<syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>`, but will wrap overflowing text.
{{deprecated code}}	"Do not use ~~<blink>~~."	(Template:Thinsp) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The {{dc2}} variant uses strike-through (~~<blink>~~) while {{dc\|red{{=}}y}} uses red (~~<blink>~~).
{{pre}}		For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text.
{{bq}}		For indented blocks of content, such as block quotations, examples, poems, etc.
{{kbd}}	`user input`	To indicate user input.
{{key press}}	`CtrlX`	To indicate specific-keystroke input.
{{pskeypress}}	Template:Pskeypress	To indicate PlayStation-style gamepad key presses.
{{samp}}	`example output`	To indicate sample or example output.
