Template:Wikivar

{{{{{1}}}}}

Usage

This template is to help facilitate the displaying of Wikiversity variables and built-in "magicword" (pseudo-template) names, and optionally their :parameters as well. The variable/magicword names are automatically put into all-upper-case.

Examples

{{wikivar|PAGENAME}}

and

{{wikivar|pagename}}

displays as:

{{PAGENAME}}

A second parameter can be added; this is the part followed by a colon in some usages:

{{wikivar|DEFAULTSORT|Kusanagi, Motoko}}

displays as:

{{DEFAULTSORT:Kusanagi, Motoko}}

{{strong}} – for semantically indicating strong emphasis instead of simple typographical boldfacing
{{strongbad}} – same as {{strong}} but red like this: Never use {{strongbad}} in articles.
{{stronggood}} – same as {{strongbad}} but green like this: Only use {{stronggood}} on non-article pages.
{{em}} – similar template for semantically indicating mild emphasis instead of simple typographical italicization
{{var}} – same as {{varserif}} use for all variables other than I (upper-case i) and l (lower-case L), for which use {{varserif}}
{{varserif}} – same as {{var}} but uses serif font, especially for distinguishing between I (upper-case i) and l (lower-case L) as variables
{{wikivar}} – for displaying wikicode variables and magicwords as they would appear in source code, e.g. {{PAGENAME}}, {{DEFAULTSORT:Lastname, Firstname}}
{{para}} – for displaying wiki template parameters (|title=) or parameters and values (|year=2008)
{{tlx}} and related – for displaying entire templates (with or without parameters and values) as code
{{tag}} – for using HTML elements ("tags") in prose, e.g. source code examples
{{code}} – for computer source code ({{var}} and other templates cannot be used inside it; in that case use <code>...</code> as the wrapper, not {{code}})
{{syntaxhighlight}} or {{sxhl}} – wrapper for <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>, but will wrap overflowing text
{{deprecated code}} or {{dc}} – for deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc.
{{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}} – for indicating user input
{{key press}} – for indicating the input of specific keystrokes, e.g. CtrlX
{{PlayStation key press}} – for indicating PS-style gamepad key presses, e.g. Template:Pskeypress
{{samp}} – for example output
