Template:Semantic markup templates

Template Example output Use

{{strong}} Important! To indicate <strong> importance, seriousness, or urgency instead of just simple typographical boldfacing

{{strongbad}} "Never use ..." Same as {{strong}} but in red

{{stronggood}} "Only use ..." Same as {{strong}} but in green

{{em}} "An emphatic phrase" To indicate <em> stress emphasis (not just purely typographical italicization like for book titles or foreign terms)

{{var}} strPrefix To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction

{{var serif}} strIllustratePrefix (see {{var}} above)

{{mvar}} Let $x$ be the maximum value used. Used to refer to individual variables in <math> (formula) elements in normal running text.

{{dfn}} This term has a definition To indicate a term defined in nearby text.

{{dfni}} This term has a definition Wrapper for {{dfn}} that applies metadata and italic styling.

{{lang}} She said: "Je suis française." Indicate that a piece of text belongs to a particular language other than that of the page as a whole.

{{tlc}}/{{tld}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Y, X}} To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code

{{parameter}} <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|year=2008 To display template parameters with or without values

{{param}} {{{title|alt}}} To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{parameter}} above

{{param value}} ··2·blanks·fore·and·aft·· To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.

{{tlx}} etc. {{Template|1|2|...|10}} To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code

{{tag}} "The <img>...</img> tags ..." To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose

{{code}}/{{codett}} "Ensure the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">alt=</syntaxhighlight> parameter ..." To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use <code>...</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">someMethod</syntaxhighlight> becomes <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="tpl-codett" style="border:none; padding: 0px 0px; color:var(--color-base, #202122); background:transparent; " inline="1">someMethod</syntaxhighlight>
