Template:Samp

Template documentation

Usage

{{samp}} is a front-end for the HTML element <samp>, which is used to denote sample output in text.

Parameters

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

Syntax

The template's syntax is

• {{samp|custom text |style= }}

Required parameter

1

Custom text

The text you wish to enclose in <samp> tags.

Usage

• {{samp|1}}

Optional parameter

style

Custom text styling

You can override the default output styling by using this parameter to specify CSS properties with appropriate values.

Note

• When entering the CSS properties and values, use the normal format, separating the property from its value with a colon (:), and ending each property:value pair with a semicolon (;), e.g. css-property-1:value; css-property-2:value; css-property-3:value;. But, don't enclose the entry in double quotation marks ("…"). That is done automatically.

Usage

• {{samp|1|style=prop1:valueA; prop2:valueB;}}
