{{ | '''Template:Outdent/doc''' — this {{tag|Documentation templates|documentation template}} is used for 'outdenting' a reply on a [[talk page]] when the existing indention gets too deep. Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character (<code>:</code>) at the start of a new paragraph to produce the effect of tabs. This [[Template:Outdent|outdent template]] produces a dog-leg connector bar and initial text to indicate an outdent, based on the number of colons used in the previous indent. | ||
===Usage=== | |||
To outdent posts, insert the number of colons (after a 'pipe') that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number. | |||
<div style="border:thin blue solid; padding:8px; margin:4px"><pre>::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels | |||
{{Outdent|::::}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin</pre> | |||
''displays as:'' | |||
::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels | |||
{{Outdent|::::}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin</div> | |||
<div style="border:thin blue solid; padding:8px; margin:4px"><pre>::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
{{Outdent|6}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin</pre> | |||
''displays as:'' | |||
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
{{Outdent|6}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin</div> | |||
<br> | |||
You can also have this template automatically add a linked tag, by adding any second parameter (its specific value is discarded): | |||
<div style="border:thin blue solid; padding:8px; margin:4px"><pre>::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
{{Outdent|6|link}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin</pre> | |||
''displays as:'' | |||
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
{{Outdent|6|link}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin</div> | |||
<br> | |||
To not outdent all the way to the left margin, the outdent template itself can be indented using one or more colons: | |||
<div style="border:thin blue solid; padding:8px; margin:4px"><pre>::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
::{{Outdent|4}}start of a new post, indented 2 levels</pre> | |||
''displays as:'' | |||
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
::{{Outdent|4}}start of a new post, indented 2 levels</div> | |||
Do <u>not</u> use <tt>subst:</tt> with this template. | |||
This template is contained in the [[:Category:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] class 'outdent-template'. [[User]]s who would prefer not to see the template can add the following line to their custom CSS (by default: [[Special:MyPage/monobook.css]]): | |||
:<code><nowiki>span.outdent-template { display: none; }</nowiki></code> | |||
