Template:Cnw

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cnw.
It contains usage information, categories and other informational content that is best arranged so that it is not part of the original template page, such as in many cases, examples of how to use the template in question. Documentation subpages were developed to reduce server demands, or to protect the code version of widely used templates.

Combination of <code> and <nowiki>.

Unlike with <pre>

, wrapping still works.

Usage

Write "|" between braces of the wikitext to be displayed (and if its last character is a closing brace, also after that), and also inside tags, to avoid their interpretation by the server.

Write "|" in the desired wikitext as {{!}}

.

---

a{{cnw|'''bold''' ''italics'' {|{tc}|} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''}}b

---

gives:

---

a'''bold''' ''italics'' {{tc}} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''

b

---

---

Compare (not wrapping):

a{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|'''bold''' ''italics'' {{tc}} [[link]] '''bold''' ''italics'' '''bold''' ''italics''|lang=text| enclose="none"}}b

---

gives

---

ab

---

Limitations

The "|" does not avoid interpretation by the browser. For example, a code like →

is not shown but interpreted by the browser. Also, both a single and multiple newlines are displayed as a space by the browser.

---

{{cnw|arrow      → {{tc}}

''italics''
[[link]]}}

---

gives:

---

arrow → [[:Template:Tc]] ''italics'' [[link]]

---

To preserve paragraphs, apply the template for each line separately. To preserve also single newlines, use also <poem>

tags.

---

<poem>
{{cnw|{|{tc}|}}}

{{cnw|''italics''}}
{{cnw|[[link]]}}}}
</poem>

---

gives:

---

<poem> {{tc}

}

''italics''

[[link]]

}} </poem>
