For outdenting a reply on a talk page when indention gets too deep.
+
The template {{tlg|outdent}} is used for outdenting a reply on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.
  
−
Indenting on talk pages is done using colons and asterisks and hashes to produce "tabs"; this template produces a connector bar and (optionally) initial text to indicate an outdent, with the length of the bar specified by the number of colons used in the template. The left margin is sent to the position of the template. <code><nowiki>:: {{outdent}}</nowiki></code> produces:
+
== Usage ==
−
:: {{outdent}}
 
−
 
 
−
The template also has a named parameter to reverse the direction of the bar to indicate deeper indentation- see {{section link|Template:Outdent/doc|Indent|nopage=yes}} below. <code><nowiki>:: {{outdent|reverse=x}}</nowiki></code> produces:
 
−
:: {{outdent|reverse=x}}
 
  
−
== Usage ==
+
: {{tlg|code=yes|nolink=yes|outdent|<var>integer</var>}}.
 +
Integer examples:
 +
* {{tlg|code=yes|nolink=yes|outdent|5}}
 +
* {{tlg|code=yes|nolink=yes|outdent|-15}}
 +
Indentation examples:
 +
* {{tlg|code=yes|nolink=yes|outdent|:::::}}
 +
* {{tlg|code=yes|nolink=yes|outdent|*::::::}}
 +
* {{tlg|code=yes|nolink=yes|outdent|**:::#}}.
  
−
: <code><nowiki>{{outdent|optional param1|optional param2|reverse / indent / r / in =|test_line_width =}} </nowiki></code>
+
== Parameter ==
−
<div style="border:thin grey solid; padding:8px; margin:4px">
 
−
{{para|1}}
 
−
* The number of tabs/indentations to outdent.
 
−
* Value may be colons, hashes (count for 2) and asterisks or just values.
 
−

The default number of colons is 10. When the value specified is over 40, the module stops at 40 (for readability reasons). The template also recognizes the named parameter "reverse" - see {{section link|Template:Outdent/doc|Indent|nopage=yes}} below.
+
; {{para|1|<var>indent</var>}} : Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain {{code|:}} (indents), <code>*</code> (unnumbered list), and {{code|#}} (numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. An integer value is interpreted as number or indents ({{code|:}}). Supported range is from −40 to 40.

To outdent posts, insert the number of colons that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number.

The template {{outdent}} is used for outdenting a reply on a talk page when indentation gets too deep.

Usage

{{outdent|integer}}.

Integer examples:

  • {{outdent|5}}
  • {{outdent|-15}}

Indentation examples:

  • {{outdent|:::::}}
  • {{outdent|*::::::}}
  • {{outdent|**:::#}}.

Parameter

|1=indent 
Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain : (indents), * (unnumbered list), and # (numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. An integer value is interpreted as number or indents (:). Supported range is from −40 to 40.

Examples

With indentation wikitext

Markup Renders as 
:::: Previous post, indented with four colons.
{{outdent|::::}} New post.
Previous post, indented with four colons.
New post.

Positive integer

Markup Renders as 
:::::: Previous post, indented 6 levels.
{{outdent|6}} New post.
Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.

With separate indent

To not outdent all the way to the left margin, indent the {{outdent}} template itself using colons:

Markup Renders as 
:::::: Previous post, indented 6 levels.
:: {{outdent|4}} New post.
Previous post, indented 6 levels.
New post.

Indent

Markup Renders as 
:::::: Original conversation.
:::::: {{outdent|-3}}
::::::::: Afterthought.
::::::: {{outdent|2}}
::::::: Continuation of original conversation.
Original conversation.
Afterthought.
Continuation of original conversation.

CSS and hide

This template is contained in the CSS class “outdent-template”. Users who would prefer not to see the template can add the following line to their custom CSS in Special:MyPage/common.css:
