This template is used to present markup or code side by side with the rendered output.
{{TOC right |limit=2}}


Parameters:
This template is used to present markup or code side by side with the output it renders.
* unnamed 1: Content of row 1, column 1
* unnamed 2: Content of row 1, column 2
:through
* unnamed 39: Content of row 20, column 1
* unnamed 40: Content of row 20, column 2


* '''t1''': Title of column one; defaults to ''Markup''
==Usage==
* '''t2''': Title of column two; defaults to ''Renders as''
Each pair of {{tl|Markup}}'s arguments should be two copies of some [[wikitext]] markup, with the first of the pair enclosed in {{xtag|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.
* '''title''': Title of table; defaults to none
* '''notitle''': When set, suppresses table and column titles
* '''margin''': set table left margin in em


<!--The ''Markup'' cell is pre-formatted with {{tag|pre|o}} to retain newlines and spaces, but styled to allow content to wrap within the cell. It is usually desirable to escape the content of the ''Markup'' cell so that the markup is displayed by wrapping the markup in {{xtag|nowiki}}. It is technically not possible to add this feature to the template.
This:
<pre>
{{markup|&lt;nowiki>'''Bold text'''&lt;/nowiki>|'''Bold text'''}}
</pre>


In the ''Renders as'' cell, the content is usually the unescaped markup copied from the ''Markup'' cell. There are instances where this may differ:
Produces this:
* If the first line includes wikimarkup that must start on a new line such as #, *  or ; then use {{tl|crlf2}} before the first line; see the template for examples.
{{markup|<nowiki>'''Bold text'''</nowiki>|'''Bold text'''}}
* Header markup such as {{code|1===}} will show in the page table of contents; use {{tlx|fake heading}}.
* When using {{tlx|reflist}} with no other parameters, use {{tlx|reflist|close}} to ensure that the reference list is closed.
* Some templates will place the page in a maintenance category, which is usually undesired:
** Instead of {{tlx|fact}} use {{tlx|fake fact}}.
** Instead of {{tlx|citation needed}}, use {{tlx|fake citation needed}}.
* Some template may have error checking that places the page in a maintenance category. Suppress the category as possible:
** {{cs1}} templates can suppress the maintenance category by setting {{para|template doc demo|true}}.
-->


==Limitations==
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 {{tlx|mra}} to save yourself from copying the code twice.
If you don't wrap the content of the markup cell in <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki>, then any template markup will not be escaped, it will be expanded.
* Header markup such as {{code|1===}} will show in the page table of contents; to avoid this, use {{tlx|fake heading}} in the markup for the second column (see example [[#A complex example|below]]).
* Some templates will place the page in a maintenance category, which is usually undesired. For example.
** Instead of {{tlx|citation needed}}, use {{tlx|fake citation needed}} in the second column.
* Some templates may have error checking that places the page in a maintenance category.
** <s>{{cs1}} templates with errors: add {{para|template doc demo|true}} to the template in the second column.</s>
** 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 {{xtag|nowiki}} tags. To work around this, replace the <code>&</code> with <code>&amp;amp;</code> in the first column (see example [[#With HTML entities|below]]).


This example shows the markup for <nowiki>{{tl|tag}}</nowiki>:
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 ;).
 
{{markup|t1=Renders as|t2=Expected rendering
|{{tl|tag}}
|<nowiki>{{tl|tag}}</nowiki>
}}
 
HTML entities are parsed in the markup cell
{{markup|t1=Mowikied markup shows as |t2=Expected markup
|<nowiki>&nbsp;&ndash;</nowiki>
|&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash;
}}
 
To work around this, replace the <code>&</code> with <code>&amp;amp;</code> thus <code>&amp;amp;nbsp;</code> will show as <code>&amp;nbsp;</code>

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Markup.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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 Template: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 asTemplate: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 {{mra}} to save yourself from copying the code twice.

  • Header markup such as == will show in the page table of contents; to avoid this, use {{fake heading}} in the markup for the second column (see example below).
  • Some templates will place the page in a maintenance category, which is usually undesired. For example.
  • Some templates may have error checking that places the page in a maintenance category.
    • Template: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 Template:Xtag tags. To work around this, replace the & with &amp; 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

Multiple rows

Markup Renders asTemplate:For loop

With custom title and column headers

How to write about foxes and dogs in Wikipedia.
Write this in wikitext and this will appear in the article.Template:For loop

A complex example

In this example, Template:Tl2's second argument here uses Template:Tl2 (to avoid headings appearing in the table of contents) and Template:Tl2 (to avoid adding this page to the maintenance list).

Markup Renders asTemplate:For loop

With HTML entities

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

More examples

Markup Renders asTemplate:For loop

Typing aid: template {{mra}}

{{mra}} will duplicate the source text automatically, saving you the trouble of copying the text and adding Template: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 asTemplate:For loop

  • {{Markup2}} for bulleted and indented markup.
  • {{Markupv}} for the vertical presentation (above/below) of markup/code and its output.
  • {{Automarkup}} does not require to write the code samples twice.
