Template:Mono/doc

Usage
This template is for formatting short bits of content (the only parameter) as monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is simply a quick shorthand for the necessary CSS code. It is a replacement for , which is an obsolete element under HTML5. (Non-conforming features)

This template should be used where the content is being rendered in monospaced text for purely stylistic/display reasons, where this display has no particular semantic significance.

It should not be used to indicate information with these semantics:
 * source code, use code or code instead
 * variables or variable input, use var or var instead
 * keyboard input, use kbd or kbd instead
 * sample output, use samp or samp instead

If the content contains pipe characters not surrounded by , they must be escaped with   or.

Parameters
There are two parameters:
 * 1 or unnamed
 * The content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a  character, the parameter must be numbered or the template will break. (The parameter does not need to be numbered if the   character is surrounded by , or if it is escaped as  .) For backward compatibility with an old, merged-in template, this parameter can also be called 2.


 * yes
 * Used (e.g. by bots or AWB scripts) to indicate replacement of now-obsolete tt markup with mono markup. This template displays nothing and presently does no categorization, though a cleanup category can be created if necessary. It indicates that the markup may need to be changed to something more semantically meaningful, such as code, samp, or kbd.
