Template:mono/documentation

Usage
renders as:

text to format here

This template is for formatting short bits of content (the only parameter) as monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is simply a quick shorthand for the necessary CSS code. It is a replacement for  which is an obsolete element under HTML5.

This template should be used where the content is being rendered in monospaced text for purely stylistic/display reasons, where this display has no particular semantic significance.

It should not be used to indicate source code, nor for variables or variable input (use or  for code and   for variables). For keyboard or samples, use  or   respectively.

It cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses, which is an inline element.

Parameters
There are two parameters:


 * 1 or unnamed – the content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a  character, the parameter must be numbered or the template will break. For backward compatibility with an old, merged-in template, this parameter can also be called 2.


 * yes – used (e.g., by bots or AWB scripts) to indicate replacement of now-obsolete  markup with  markup. This template displays nothing and presently does no categorization, though a cleanup category can be created if necessary. It indicates that the markup may need to be changed to something more semantically meaningful, such as ,  , or.
