This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tag. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
A markup tag is an open < and a close > angle brackets and the content within them, in a markup language, as XML or HTML:
- For example, the <title> tag provides a title for the Web page.
This template provides a quick way to mention a markup-style tag in a preformatted way. Mainly used in discussion/help pages.
Parameters
Required parameters shown in bold italics.
|1=
(tagname above)- The XML/HTML tag's name (e.g. code, ref).
|2=
(type above)- To indicate which of the tag's types is/are presented:
p
(pair
) (default)- A matching pair of open/start and close/end tags (e.g.
<div>...</div>
).
To suppress the ellipsis ("...") between the tags, add an empty|content=
parameter (for example,<div></div>
). o
(open
)- An open/start tag (e.g.
<span>
). c
(close
)- A close/end tag (e.g.
</span>
). e
(empty
) ors
(single
) orv
(void
)- An empty element, formed with a single self-terminating tag (e.g.
<hr />
); in HTML5 these are now known as "void" elements, though "empty" is the more common term.
|content=
- Text to place between open/start and close/end tags.
|attribs=
- Attributes and values to be included as part of an open/start tag (this parameter can also be called
|params=
). |wrap=yes
- Disable nowrap for long samples, so allowing wraps (line breaks).
|link=yes
- Link to the element's entry at the HTML element article, e.g.Template:Colon
Template:In5{{Tag|del|link=y}}
produces:
Template:In5<del>...</del>
This is Template:Em for HTML elements; the page is hard-coded, so it cannot be used for, e.g., XML elements from a particular schema. If desired, a feature for specifying the link page can be added.

by this one:
|p|pair = <{{#if:{{{link|}}}|[[Wikipedia:en:HTML element#
Remark that the code Wikipedia:en:
