Template:Outdent/doc — this 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 (:) at the start of a new paragraph to produce the effect of tabs. This 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[edit]

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. 

::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels
{{Outdent|::::}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin

displays as:

This is the previous post, indented 4 levels
┌─────────────┘
start of a new post, aligned to the left margin
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{Outdent|6}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin

displays as:

This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
┌───────────────────┘
start of a new post, aligned to the left margin


You can also have this template automatically add a linked tag, by adding any second parameter (its specific value is discarded): 

::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{Outdent|6|link}}start of a new post, aligned to the left margin

displays as:

This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
┌───────────────────┘
(outdent) start of a new post, aligned to the left margin


To not outdent all the way to the left margin, the outdent template itself can be indented using one or more colons: 

::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
::{{Outdent|4}}start of a new post, indented 2 levels

displays as:

This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
┌─────────────┘
start of a new post, indented 2 levels


Do not use subst: with this template.

This template is contained in the CSS class 'outdent-template'. Users who would prefer not to see the template can add the following line to their custom CSS (by default: Special:MyPage/monobook.css):

span.outdent-template { display: none; }
