Template:Markup

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

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 <nowiki> 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 as
'''Bold text'''	Bold text

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

Multiple rows

Markup	Renders as
'''Bold text'''	Bold text
''Italic text''	Italic text
[[Arc Furnace]]	Arc Furnace
{{Recipe | Building = Smoke Stack | Input1Name = Oxygen | Input1Qty = 200 | Time = 20 }}	Small : ACCEPTS 200 600 / 20  / 60

With custom title and column headers

With HTML entities

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