Usage

[kulemba source]

The ((deprecated code)) template (easiest used from its ((dc)) redirect) can be used to indicate, e.g. in template documentation or Wikipedia articles on things like HTML specifications, code that has been deprecated and should not normally be used. It can also be used to indicate other deleted or deprecated material. On the technical level it is a CSS-styled <del>...</del> that greys out the text (the near-universal sign in computing and computing documentation for "doesn't work", "don't do this", "bad code", "ignore", "option not available", etc.), and removes that element's usual strikethrough (CSS: "line-through") rendering, which makes the content hard to read. If you really want that line-through, use the ((dc2)) (AKA ((dcs))) variant to do this; it is otherwise identical.

Note: This template does not apply a monospaced font. This is so that it can be used inside an existing code (or non-code) block and inherit its font style. If necessary, wrap the template in one of <code>...</code> (source code), <kbd>...</kbd> (example input), or <samp>...</samp> (example output) as semantically appropriate. If you want monospace without semantic markup like <code>, you can use the alternative templates ((mxtd)): Example text, or ((!mxt)): Example text.

((var)) strPrefix To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, ((var serif)) should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction

((tld)) ((DEFAULTSORT:Y, X)) To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code
((para)) |year=2008 To display template parameters with or without values

((tjp)) |selfref=yes To display template parameters with colors (as they would appear in the ((tj)) and ((tji)) templates)
((param value)) ··2·blanks·fore·and·aft·· To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.

((tag)) "The <img>...</img> tags ..." To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose
((code))/((codett)) "Ensure the ​alt=​ parameter ..." To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within ((code)), use <code>...</code>. ((codett)) differs only in styling: ​someMethod​ becomes ​someMethod​
((subst:codenowiki)) ((small|small text)) To wrap example code in ​<code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>​
((subst:kbdnowiki)) ((large|large text)) To wrap example code in ​<kbd><nowiki>...</nowiki></kbd>​
((syntaxhighlight))     [this is a block template] ( or ((sxhl)) )  Wrapper for <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>, but will wrap overflowing text
((deprecated code)) "Do not use <blink>." ( or ((dc)) )  To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The ((dc2)) variant uses strike-through (<blink>) while ((dcr)) uses red (<blink>).
((pre))     [this is a block template] For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text
