Template:Tag/doc
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
Usage

Parameters
The template has one unnamed required parameter, and three optional ones of which one is unnamed and two are named.
Required parameter
Tag name
-
1: The XML/HTML tag's name
Enter the name of the XML/HTML tag (e.g. div, code, ref, …). Do not include the < and > brackets. No parameter name needs to be entered.
Usage:
-
{{tag|1}}
Optional parameters
Tag type
-
2: The type of tag
- p (pair) (default)
- A matching pair of open/start and close/end tags (e.g.
<div>...</div>).
- A matching pair of open/start and close/end tags (e.g.
- o (open)
- An open/start tag (e.g.
<span>).
- An open/start tag (e.g.
- c (close)
- A close/end tag (e.g.
</span>).
- A close/end tag (e.g.
- s (single)
- A single tag (e.g.
<br />).
- A single tag (e.g.
- p (pair) (default)
Enter the full type name (pair, open, close or single) or the abbreviation (p, o, c or s). No parameter name needs to be entered.
Usage:
-
{{tag|1|2}}
Enclosed text
-
content: Custom text
You can provide a custom text to be enclosed by the tag you present. By default, if the {tlc|content}} parameter is left out, a tag pair (the type parameter value pair, see above) will wrap around an ellipsis ("…"). This parameter will replace the ellipsis with the provided text string. If you want to show the tag pair with neither enclosed text nor an ellipsis, include the parameter (content=), but don't enter any value (leave it empty).
Usage:
-
{{tag|1|2|content=text}}
to display "text" enclosed by the tag pair, or -
{{tag|1|2|content=}}
to suppress the ellipsis ("…") between the tags
Tag parameters

params: Tag parameters to be included

Usage:

{{tag|1|2|content=text|params=parameters}}
