Bysen:Mearcupp

Bysen documentation[view] [edit] [history] []

This template is used to present markup or code side by side with the output it renders.

Usage

Each pair of {{Markup}}'s arguments should be two copies of some wikitext markup, with the first of the pair enclosed in Bysen:Xtag tags. The template produces output in two columns, the first showing the markup and the second showing how it is rendered. The template accepts up to 40 unnamed parameters, resulting in up to 20 rows of examples.

This:

{{markup|<nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki>|'''Bold text'''}}

Produces this:

Markup	Renders asBysen:For loop

In many cases, the markup for both columns are identical, but there are instances where this may need to differ. If none of these issues apply, then you may use Bysen:Template link with subst to save yourself from copying the code twice.

• Header markup such as Bysen:Code will show in the page table of contents; to avoid this, use Bysen:Template link expanded in the markup for the second column (see example below).
• Some templates will place the page in a maintenance category, which is usually undesired.
• Some templates may have error checking that places the page in a maintenance category.
  • Bysen:Cs1 templates with errors: add |template doc demo=true to the template in the second column.
  • To avoid this and the associated red error messages make sure that each example on the page uses different sources.
• HTML entities are parsed in the first cell, even with Bysen:Xtag tags. To work around this, replace the & with & in the first column (see example below).

It is advisable to begin both copies of the markup with a newline; this is necessary if the first line of the markup must start on a new line (such as #, * or ;).

Examples

With custom title and column headers

A complex example

In this example, Bysen:Template link interwiki's second argument here uses Bysen:Template link interwiki (to avoid headings appearing in the table of contents) and Bysen:Template link interwiki (to avoid adding this page to the maintenance list).

Markup	Renders asBysen:For loop

With HTML entities

HTML entities are parsed in the markup cell. To work around this, replace the & with & in the first column.

{{Markup| <nowiki>&amp;ndash;</nowiki> | &ndash;}}

renders as:

Markup	Renders asBysen:For loop

With the glyphs "|" and "="

If the markup contains the glyphs | or = they need to be replaced by the magic words {{!}} or {{=}}. If not they are being interpreted for the Template:Markup itself as a separator between the parameters or between the parameter name and value! So as an example use:

{{markup
|<nowiki>use <code>|lang = en</code></nowiki>
|use <code>{{!}}lang {{=}} en</code>
}}

which renders as:

Markup	Renders asBysen:For loop

Typing aid: template {{mra}}

{{mra}} will duplicate the source text automatically, saving you the trouble of copying the text and adding Bysen:Xtag tags to the first case.

This:

{{subst:mra|'''Bold text'''|''Italic text''}}

Will produce this:

{{markup|
<nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki>|'''Bold text'''|
<nowiki>''Italic text''</nowiki>|''Italic text''}}

Which renders as:

Markup	Renders asBysen:For loop
