{{ | For outdenting a reply on a talk page when indention gets too deep. Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character (:) to produce tabs; this template produces a 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 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</pre> | |||
displays as | |||
::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels | |||
{{Outdent|::::}}start of a new post</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</pre> | |||
displays as | |||
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
{{Outdent|6}}start of a new post</pre></div> | |||
You can also have the 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</pre> | |||
displays as | |||
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
{{Outdent|6|link}}start of a new post</pre></div> | |||
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</pre> | |||
displays as | |||
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels | |||
:{{Outdent|5}}start of a new post</pre></div> | |||
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]]): | |||
:<nowiki>span.outdent-template { display: none; }</nowiki>''' | |||
