Usage
{{glodef}} is a front-end for the HTML element <dd>, which is used to delimit a word or expression entered as a glossary/dictionary definition.
Meant to be used in conjunction with {{glossary term}}. To enter both the term and the definition in one go, with the possibility to add multiple definitions, use the template {{glossary entry}}.
Parameters
There are 2 parameters, of which 1 is unnamed and required, and 1 is named and optional.
Syntax
The template's syntax is
-
{{glodef|glossary definition |rtl=yes }}
Required parameter
1
- Glossary definition
Your definition of the headword.
- Notes
- Definitions should be as concise as possible, but still give a clear description of the headword's meaning and usage in a given context. If a headword appears within multiple word classes, the definition should indicate which of the headword's word classes it covers; for example: the word code can be used as a verb or a noun, so a definition of it should start with the word class that the definition covers, e.g. vb. or n..
- Usage
-
{{glodef|1}}
Optional parameter
rtl
- Forces text direction to flow right-to-left
- Notes
- You may call this parameter by setting it to any value; i.e.
|rtl=yeswill yield the same result as|rtl=whoopsadaisy.
- Usage
-
{{glodef|1|rtl=yes}}
