Usage
{{mono|text to format here}}
renders as:
text to format here
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 <tt>...</tt>, 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 source code, nor for variables or variable input (use <code>...</code> for code and <var>...</var> for variables). For keyboard or samples, use <kbd>...</kbd> or <samp>...</samp> respectively.
It cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses <span>, which is an inline element. See {{Pre}} for a <div>-based block version. Or, multiple instances of {{Mono}} can be invoked.
Parameters
There is one parameter:
|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. For backward compatibility with an old, merged-in template, this parameter can also be called|2=.
