Usage
{{Mono|text to format here}}
renders as:
This template is for formatting short bits of content (the only parameter) as monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is simply a quick shorthand for the necessary Template:WP code. It is a replacement for <tt></tt> which is an obsolete element under HTML5. (Non-conforming features)
This template should be used where the content is being rendered in monospaced text for purely stylistic/display reasons, where this display has no particular semantic significance.
It should not be used to indicate source code, nor for variables or variable input (use <code></code> or <source></source> for code and <var></var> for variables). For keyboard or samples, use <kbd></kbd> or <samp></samp> respectively.
It cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses <span>, which is an inline element. See Template:Tl for a <div>-based block version. Or, multiple instances of Template:Tl can be invoked.
Parameters
- There are two parameters
|1=or unnamed – the content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a=character, the parameter must be numbered or the template will break. For backward compatibility with an old, merged-in template, this parameter can also be called|2=.
|needs_review=yes– used (e.g. by Template:WP or Template:WP scripts) to indicate replacement of now-obsolete<tt></tt>markup with {{mono|...}} markup. This template displays nothing and presently does no categorization, though a cleanup category can be created if necessary. It indicates that the markup may need to be changed to something more semantically meaningful, such as<code></code>,<samp></samp>, or<kbd></kbd>.
