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

<templatedata> { "description": " ", "paramOrder": [ "margin-left", "width", "style", "noheaders", "title", "colheaderstyle", "col1headerstyle", "col1", "col2headerstyle", "col2", "codestyle", "outputstyle", "1", "2", "3", "4", "39", "40" ], "params": { "1": { "description": "row 1, first column (markup/code)'s content.", "type": "string" }, "2": { "description": "row 1, second column (output)'s content.", "type": "string" }, "3": { "description": "row 2, first column's content (etc).", "type": "string" }, "4": { "description": "row 2, second column's content (etc).", "type": "string" }, "39": { "description": "First column's content in last possible row.", "type": "string" }, "40": { "description": "Second column's content in last possible row.", "type": "string" }, "width": { "description": "To set the table's overall width.", "type": "string", "default": "100%" }, "margin-left": { "description": "To set a margin on the table's lefthand side.", "type": "string", "default": "0" }, "style": { "description": "For CSS styles amending the table's overall appearance.", "type": "string" }, "title": { "description": "Title above table.", "type": "string" }, "noheaders": { "description": "Set (as e.g. noheaders=on) to suppress the columns' headings and table's title.", "type": "string" }, "col1": { "description": "First column (markup/code)'s heading.", "type": "string", "default": "\"Markup\"" }, "col2": { "description": "Second column (output)'s heading.", "type": "string", "default": "\"Renders as\"" }, "codestyle": { "description": "For CSS styles amending the presentation of the first column (markup/code)'s content (e.g. a smaller font-size).", "type": "string", "aliases": [ "markupstyle" ] }, "outputstyle": { "description": "For CSS styles amending the presentation of the second column (output)'s content.", "type": "string" }, "col1headerstyle": { "description": "For CSS styling to amend the appearance of the first column's heading. Overrides (but does not replace) colheaderstyle.", "type": "string" }, "col2headerstyle": { "description": "For CSS styling to amend the appearance of the second column's heading. Overrides (but does not replace) colheaderstyle.", "type": "string" }, "colheaderstyle": { "description": "For CSS styling to amend the appearance of each column's heading.", "type": "string" } } } </templatedata>

Usage[edit]

Each cell in the first ("Markup") column uses <pre> to retain newlines and spaces but styled to allow content to wrap within it. It is usually desirable to escape the content of these cells so that the markup is displayed by wrapping the markup in <nowiki>. It is technically not possible to add this feature to the template.

Each cell in the second ("Renders as") column is usually the unescaped markup copied from the corresponding "Markup" cell before it. There are instances where this may differ:

  • If the first line includes wikimarkup that must start on a new line such as #, * or ; then use <nowiki /> before the first line; see examples below.
  • Header markup such as == will show in the page table of contents; use {{fake heading}}.
  • 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. Suppress the category as possible:
    • Citation Style 1 templates can suppress the maintenance category by setting |template doc demo=true.

Limitations[edit]

<nowiki>[edit]

If you don't wrap the content of the markup cell in <nowiki>, then any template markup will not be escaped, it will be expanded.

This example shows the markup for {{tl|tag}}:

Renders as Expected rendering
{{[[Template:tag|tag]]}} 
{{tl|tag}}

HTML entities[edit]

HTML entities are parsed in the markup cell:

Nowikied markup shows as Expected markup
 – 
&nbsp;&ndash;

To work around this, replace the & with &amp; thus &amp;nbsp; will show as &nbsp;

List and indent markup[edit]

If the first line includes wikimarkup that must start on a new line such as #, * or ; then use <nowiki />:

Without <nowiki />
Markup Renders as
# Item 1
# Item 2
# Item 3
# Item 4 
# Item 1
  1. Item 2
  2. Item 3
  3. Item 4
With <nowiki />
Markup Renders as
<nowiki />
# Item 1
# Item 2
# Item 3
# Item 4 
  1. Item 1
  2. Item 2
  3. Item 3
  4. Item 4

Showing rendered HTML[edit]

When a template is enclosed within {{code}}, it shows the rendered HTML:

Markup Renders as
{{cite book |last=White |first=T. H. |title=The Book of Merlyn |year=1977}} 
Template:Cite book
{{code|{{cite book |last=White |first=T. H. |title=The Book of Merlyn |year=1977}}}} 
[[:Template:Cite book]]
