{{tag|tagname [|type] [|content=text] [|attribs=attributes and values]}}

A markup tag is an open < and a close > angle brackets and the content within them, in a markup language, as XML or HTML:

For example, the <title> tag provides a title for the Web page.

This template provides a quick way to mention a markup-style tag in a preformatted way. Mainly used in discussion/help pages.

Parameters

Wonaniso: Span and div

Required parameters shown in bold italics.

|1=  (tagname above)

The XML/HTML tag's name (e.g. code, ref).

|2=  (type above)

To indicate which of the tag's types is/are presented:

p  (pair) (default)

A matching pair of open/start and close/end tags (e.g. <div>...</div>).
To suppress the ellipsis ("...") between the tags, add an empty |content= parameter (for example, <div></div>).

o  (open)

An open/start tag (e.g. <span>).

c  (close)

A close/end tag (e.g. </span>).

e  (empty)  or  s  (single)  or  v  (void)

An empty element, formed with a single self-terminating tag (e.g. <hr />); in HTML5 these are now known as "void" elements, though "empty" is the more common term.

|content=

Text to place between open/start and close/end tags.

|attribs=

Attributes and values to be included as part of an open/start tag (this parameter can also be called |params=).

|wrap=yes

Disable nowrap for long samples, so allowing wraps (line breaks).

|link=yes

Link to the element's entry at the HTML element article, e.g.:
     {{Tag|del|link=y}}
produces:
     <del>...</del>
This is only for HTML elements; the page is hard-coded, so it cannot be used for, e.g., XML elements from a particular schema. If desired, a feature for specifying the link page can be added.
