Provides a lightly bordered box to highlight param values on Template documentation pages. Especially useful in cases where values may have leading or trailing blanks, or multiple embedded blanks.
{{param value|value}}
There is one required positional parameter for the value, and four optional params: three for styling the display, and one replacement parameter for dealing with how to render a blank space:
|1=
– the value to be highlighted; required (no default)|border=
– may be used to set border attributes. default: thin solid #caa
. Alias: |b=
.|bg-color=
– may be used to set background-color. default: white
. Alias: |bg=
.|style=
– may be used to set any CSS style attributes, with one or more semicolon-separated attribute:value
pairs. default:none.|space=
– may be used to make spaces visible. Alias: |sp=
. See #Making spaces visible below.Note on special characters: if the value to be highlighted contains an equal sign, it must be escaped: use {{=}}
instead of a bare equal sign character.
{{param value|2blanks between}}
yields: 2blanks between
{{param value|2blanks between|space=·}}
yields: 2blanks··between
{{param value| * : # }}
yields: * : #
{{param value| * : # |border=2px dashed khaki}}
yields: * : #
{{param value|white|bg=yellow}}
yields: white
{{pvalue|thin solid #caa|bg=#f5fcf9}}
yields: thin solid #caa
{{pval|* #|border=thin dashed purple|bg=#ffe6e6|style=border-radius:5px|space=␠}}
yields: *␠␠#
You may make space characters visible by replacing them with any character you choose using param |space=
. Here are some characters that have been historically used for this purpose. In these examples, there are two spaces between one and two:
{{param value|one two|space=␠}}
⟶ one␠␠two
{{pvalue|one two|space=␢}}
⟶ one␢␢two
{{pvalue|one two|space=<small>␢</small>}}
⟶ one␢␢two
{{pval|one two|space=·}}
⟶ one··two
{{pval|one two|space=⎵}}
⟶ one⎵⎵two
{{pval|one two|space=▯}}
⟶ one▯▯two
{{pval|one two|space=‿}}
⟶ one‿‿two
