Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Viewsource/doc.

This template can be used to transclude the source of another template onto a page.

Usage

{{viewsource|template name|(optional parameters)}}

Optional parameters:

• nowrap=1

  Disable wrapping. By default, the template includes CSS style rules to make long lines in the source code wrap. Set this parameter to a non-empty value to disable it.

• class=class names

  Include additional custom CSS classes. See MediaWiki:Common.css for available classes.

• style=CSS

  Directly include additional custom CSS style rules. For example, to make the border red, you could use "style=border: 1px solid red;".

Example:

To display the source code of Template:Information, use {{viewsource|Information}}, which produces:

<noinclude>{{heavily used template}}</noinclude><!--  
-->{{#invoke:Information|information
 | lang   = {{#if:{{{lang|}}} | {{{lang}}} | {{int:Lang}} }}
 | demo   = {{{demo|<noinclude>1</noinclude>}}}
}}<noinclude>
{{documentation}}
</noinclude>

Hints:

To transclude the source of non-template pages, include the namespace in the page name, e.g. {{viewsource|Help:Contents}}. To display the source of pages in the main (gallery) namespace, prefix the page name with a colon (":"), e.g. {{viewsource|:Main Page}}.
