 It would be great if someone who knows about coding templates could try to talk with me about how to fix it. Some aims are on the talk page, but I'm having some trouble, as parameters inside <pre> tags don't work. Thanks, Drum guy (talk) 20:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC).


This template simply uses <pre> tags, but with wrapped text. This means the text will not stretch past the right side of the screen.

[edit] Usage

{{Pre2|Text to be displayed.}}

produces:
{{{1}}}

If you don't mind cluttering the page with some coding, you can also use {{subst:Pre2}}. This is particularly useful where another set of {{template}} brackets would be more confusing to work with than the raw code.

[edit] Coding

The template contains:

<pre style="
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
white-space: -pre-wrap;
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;
white-space: pre-wrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
">{{{1}}}</pre>

This tells all of the popular browsers to wrap the text. The width= attribute is now deprecated, so <pre width=100%> will not work in all browsers i.e. Internet Explorer.
