Template:Block indent/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Block indent. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage[edit source]
This template block-indents the value that is supplied to it. This is similar to block quotation, but it uses the HTML <div>...</div> element, instead of semantically abusing the <blockquote>...</blockquote> element.
{{block indent |1=The material to be indented here. May include markup, paragraph breaks, etc.}}
The default display differs from the block quotation template {{Quote}} in that it does not:
- introduce whitespace margins above or below the indented material (just add a blank line above and/or below manually); nor
- indent from the right as well as the left (there is an optional parameter for this); nor
- (on mobile) bookend the block with large quotation marks.
It also does not support that other template's attribution parameters (since it isn't for quotations).
Example[edit source]
{{block indent |1={{Lorem}}}}
produces:
Parameters[edit source]
|1= a.k.a. |text= The material to be indented. {{{1}}}, because any occurrence (e.g. in a URL, template, etc.) of the = character will break the template without it.
|left= a.k.a. |em= the value (e.g. 0.1 or 7) in em units by which to indent the material from the left; defaults to 3
|right= the value, also in em, by which to indent the material from the right; defaults to 0 (use 7 to match the default left indentation)
|style= arbitrary CSS declarations, e.g. font-size: 95%;. This parameter should not normally be needed. Note: It already includes overflow: hidden; by default, to avoid collision of the div's background with floating elements.
|class= any CSS class names (e.g. as defined at MediaWiki:Common.css), comma-separated if more than one. This parameter should not normally be needed.
Comparison with {{Quote}} (block quotation)[edit source]
