variable
Documentation
This is a convenient template wrapper for the <var>...</var>
HTML element, the proper markup for variables, which are rendered in italics by most browsers. This can be used in running text or inside <code>...</code>
, and will use the proper font for the context.
This template should not be used for emphasis (use {{Em|...}}
or <em>...</em>
markup), or for general uses of italics, like book titles, foreign words, words-as-words, etc. (use ''...''
markup).
Usage:
{{var|the variable here}}
If the content contains a =
character, the parameter must be named (as |1=
), but this should not arise (variables are generally going to come before or after that character).
