మూస:Outdent
మూస:Nosubst మూస:Lua మూస:Template shortcut
For outdenting a reply on a talk page when indention 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. "::{{od}}" produces
The template also has a named parameter to reverse the direction of the bar to indicate deeper indentation- see #Indent below. "::{{od|reverse=x}}" produces:
Usage
[మార్చు]{{ Outdent / outdent / out / od| optional param1 | optional param2 | reverse / indent / r / in = | test_line_width = }}
- The number to tabs/indentations to outdent
- Value may be colons, hashes (count for 2) and asterisks or just values.
- When using this you may copy the colons, hashes and asterisks from the start of the last message as the first parameter.
- If the first parameter is not used, the default value of 10 is used.
- A value of zero causes the template to return a pipe (|).
- Recommended
- If used, specifies that the string (outdent) is to be placed at the start of the new line's text.
- Can be any value.
మూస:Para (మూస:Para, మూస:Para, మూస:Para)
- Can be set so: {{Outdent|reverse=string}} where string can be any character or string of characters. It will also work with the optional unnamed parameters described previously. Its purpose is to allow for indention. See examples below.
- Can be any value.
- Set to any string to test the line creating and reduction functions in the module.
- Not recommended
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 #Indent below.
Examples
[మార్చు]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.
::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels
{{Outdent|::::}} Start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 4 levels
Start of a new post
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{Outdent|6}} Start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
Start of a new post
Alternatively:
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{Outdent}} Start of a new post. ''(Note that the bar is longer — it is using the default value of 10.)''
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
Start of a new post. (Note that the bar is longer — it is using the default value of 10.)
You can also have the template automatically add a linked tag, by adding any second parameter (its specific value is discarded):
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
{{Outdent|6|link}} Start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
(outdent) Start of a new post
To not outdent all the way to the left margin, the outdent template itself can be indented using one or more colons:
::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
::{{Outdent|4}} Start of a new post
displays as
- This is the previous post, indented 6 levels
- Start of a new post
- More examples
{{Outdent}}xxx xxx
{{outdent|1}}xxx xxx
{{od|2}}xxx మూస:Odxxx
{{od|6}}xxx మూస:Odxxx
- {{od|1|anything}}xxxమూస:Odxxx
- {{od|6|xxx}}xxx మూస:Odxxx

-
- Indent 7 levels using a reversed bar of length 7-2=5.
