Template:Monodiv/doc

Usage

{{monodiv|
text line 1

text line 2

text line 3}}

renders as:

text line 1

text line 2

text line 3

This template is for formatting multi-line sections of content as plain, monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is a quick shorthand for the necessary CSS code. It is the multi-line version of {{mono}} and 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. Because it uses <div>...</div> tags for formatting instead of <span>...</span> tags, it can be used to wrap bulleted lists, along with div-based list templates like {{hlist}}.

It should not be used to indicate source code, nor for variables or variable input (use {{code}} or <code>...</code> for code and {{var}} or <var>...</var> for variables). For keyboard or samples, use <kbd>...</kbd> or <samp>...</samp> respectively.

When the content ends with a single closing curly brace (}), the content should be followed by <nowiki/>, for example, to mark up {foo}, use {{monodiv|{foo}<nowiki/>}} or {{monodiv|<nowiki>{foo}</nowiki>}}.

If the content contains pipe characters (|) not surrounded by <nowiki>...</nowiki>, they must be escaped with | or {{!}}.

Parameters

There is only one parameter:

|1= or unnamed

The content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a = character, the parameter must be numbered with |1=.
