Template:Tltt/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tltt. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Meaning[edit source]
tltt stands for "template link with tooltip". "tt" also stood for the <tt>...</tt> tags that formerly surrounded it (for compliance with HTML5 these were replaced with <kbd>...</kbd>, which also displays a monospaced font).
Usage[edit source]
Like {{tl}} (see documentation), with an additional parameter for the tooltip. This will be displayed when user hovers over the curly braces. (Try it right here: {{Any template}}!)
The template is meant to be used in pages such as {{TestTemplates}}, where it is desirable to provide a bit more explanation for a template than what its name reveals.
Differently from {{tl}}, the font is set in monospace, so that all text appears in non-proportional font.
The template also permits up to two named parameters, like so:
{{tltt|Template name|Tooltip text|par=First parameter=1|par2=Second parameter=2}}
Produces:
- {{Template name|First parameter=1|Second parameter=2}}
Known problems[edit source]
- On some systems, the text only displays when user hovers over the curly braces, not over the link itself.
- It is not possible to include double quotes in the text. Use single quotes instead.
See also[edit source]
- {{tltt2}} - allows one sample parameter
- {{tltt/tip}} - inform user that tooltips can be displayed
- {{tltts}} - where subst: is required
