Template:Lineheight/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Lineheight.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{lineheight}} changes the line height for a text string through the CSS property line-height. It is primarily intended to be used with its default settings (not altering any parameters), i.e. for text spans that, for reasons of clarity, need or would benefit from a doubled line height.

The intended use is achieved by using the template syntax {{lineheight|custom text}}.

Parameters

There are 3 parameters, of which 1 is unnamed and required, and 2 are named and optional.

Syntax

The template's syntax is

• {{lineheight|custom text |height= |tag= }}

Required parameter

1

Custom text string

The text for which you wish to change the line height. The parameter is unnamed, so no parameter name needs to be entered.

Usage

• {{lineheight|1}}

Optional parameters

height

Line height

By default, the template sets the line height to the value 200% (of the current font size), i.e. double the normal line height in MozillaWiki. You can enter a custom line height value, if you want to. There are different ways of specifying this value. See the available value types below, under Available values.

Note

• If the entered value doesn't conform to the rules, the template will output the text using MozillaWiki's standard line height.

Usage

• {{lineheight|1|height=line height value}}

Available values

^a) When using length or percentage, there can't be any space character between the number value and its unit (px or em for length, and % for percentage).

tag

HTML tag

By default, the template outputs the text enclosed in <span> tags, but it is possible to change the |tag parameter value to one of a small number of other tag names. See the available value types below, under Available values.

Usage

• {{lineheight|1|tag=tag value}}

Available values

Type	Value	Template default	Comments
HTML tag	blockquote		Will output the specified tag.
	div
	p
	span
	Other HTML tags b)		Will output <span> tags.

^b) Any other HTML tag than the ones listed above will be ignored, and set the template to use <span> tags.
