Template talk:Pre2

Scroll capability etc. and aims

What I was hoping is having {{Pre2|scroll=yes}} which would make the scroll part of the style have an effect but not the wrap, or {{Pre2|wrap=yes}} which would make the wrap part of the style have an effect. Ideally, {{Pre2}} would just have the wrap part.

That's just where I'm trying to get... Thanks, Drum guy (talk) 15:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, it's got a bit further (thanks to Rocket000) and these are my new aims:

{{Pre2|Text}} will generate a wrapping <pre> with content "Text".

{{Pre2|scroll|Text}} will generate a scrolling <pre> with content "Text".

Nowiki

Almost got it to work... but now it's MediaWiki's devs turn to make <nowiki> and {{tag}} work right.

Here's an example:
{{pre2|nw|
<small>'''Text'''</small>
[[wiki|link]][[:category:category]][[media:media]]{{template}}
{{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>{{yeswiki}}</nowiki>
}}

Gives:

<small>'''Text'''</small>
[[wiki|link]][[:category:category]][[media:media]]{{template}}
{{CURRENTYEAR}}{{yeswiki}}

Using MediaWiki's tags:

<small>'''Text'''</small>
[[wiki|link]][[:category:category]][[media:media]]{{template}}
{{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>{{yeswiki}}
</nowiki>

It should look like:

<small>'''Text'''</small>
[[wiki|link]][[:category:category]][[media:media]]{{template}}
{{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>{{yeswiki}}</nowiki>

View source to see how I made the last one or this could go on forever :) Anyway, until nowiki is fixed, this is as far as we can get. (Also, my colon after "Gives" has disappeared for some reason). Rocket000 (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I edited what's above from what you originally wrote. There is now one fewer <pre> so I won't confuse it with other <pre>/{{pre2}}s etc..

I also changed your "using MediaWiki's tags" part. WikEd pointed out that the <nowiki> was ending too early so it is now &lt;nowiki>. Has that fixed anything?

I'm not completely sure what it means - you're much more of an expert than me. I've added on the doc that plain <nowiki> tags could be added. Is this good/right? Does it mean that if MediaWiki makes a fix, all of the instances where {{Pre2|<nowiki>content}}</nowiki> exists will break/have an extra <nowiki> at the start and end?

I'm afraid only have a small brain. Thanks, Drum guy (talk) 14:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I originally used &lt;nowiki> in my example under "It should look like:" and intentionally didn't escape the '<' in the part above that to show another MediaWiki bug. The doc looks good. If there's a MediaWiki fix, it shouldn't affect this template unless {{pre2|nw|...}} was used (which it shouldn't be because it doesn't work yet). After the fix, this will work perfectly.

This will never work if <ref> is in the content, as it exposes the Help:strip markers:

{{pre2|nw|<ref>xxx</ref>}}
