Template documentationUsage
{{var}} is a front-end for the HTML element <var>, which is used to denote a variable.
Parameters
There are 2 parameters, of which 1 is unnamed and required, and 1 is named and optional.
Syntax
The template's syntax is
-
{{var|custom text}}
Required parameter
1
- Custom text
The variable you wish to enclose in <var> tags.
- Usage
-
{{var|1}}
Optional parameter
style
- Custom text styling
You can override the default output styling by using this parameter to specify CSS properties with appropriate values.
- Note
- When entering the CSS properties and values, use the normal format, separating the property from its value with a colon (:), and ending each property:value pair with a semicolon (;), e.g.
css-property-1:value; css-property-2:value; css-property-3:value;. But, don't enclose the entry in double quotation marks ("…"). That is done automatically.
