Line 23: * <code>dir</code>: text direction— <code>"ltr"</code> (left-to-right), <code>"rtl"</code> (right-to-left) or <code>"auto"</code>. * <code>id</code>: unique identifier for the element. * <code>lang</code>: primary language for the contents of the element per [[Wikipedia:BCP 47\|BCP 47]]. The MediaWiki software automatically adds the <code>xml:lang</code> attribute whenever <code>lang</code> is defined, but <code>xml:lang</code> will no longer be passed when included as a separate attribute. * <code>style</code>: applies CSS styling to the contents of the element. * <code>title</code>: advisory information associated with the element. Line 66: ==== h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 ==== {{see\|Wikipedia:Help:Section\|Wikipedia:MOS:HEAD}} The {{tag\|h1}} through {{tag\|h6}} tags are headings for the sections with which they are associated. {{tag\|h1\|o}} is used for the article title.

The {{xtag\|inputbox}} extension tag is used to create a text box with a button. == HTML Tidy == [[Wikipedia:HTML Tidy]] is an outdated HTML4 library that is [[:mw:Parsing/Replacing Tidy\|slated for removal]]. Tidy parses the MediaWiki output and cleans it up to increase the likelihood that valid HTML4 is rendered. For example, with Tidy enabled, {{tag\|br\|o}}, {{tag\|br\|c}}, {{tag\|br/\|o}}, {{tag\|br.\|o}} all rendered as {{tag\|br\|s}}. Tidy is not enabled for [[Wikipedia:Help:MediaWiki namespace\|MediaWiki interface pages]]. Tidy was never perfect and has been known to introduce errors. == Exceptions == In some pages in the [[Wikipedia:Help:MediaWiki namespace\|MediaWiki namespace]], typically the short messages like button labels, HTML is not parsed, and tags will be exposed. User and sitewide [[Wikipedia:CSS]] and [[Wikipedia:JavaScript]] pages are interpreted as if inside a {{tag\|pre\|o}} block. See [[Wikipedia:Help:User style\|Help:User style]]. == Validation == {{Main\|Wikipedia:Help:Markup validation}} The MediaWiki software attempts to fix HTML errors, but it does not catch all of them. Where HTML is used, it is helpful to verify it with the [[Wikipedia:W3C Markup Validation Service\|W3C Markup Validation Service]]. == Parser and extension tags == ~~{{shortcut\|Help:Extension tag\|Help:Parser tag}}~~ {{#section:Template:Xtag/doc\|xtag}} Line 837 ⟶ 807: * HTML 4.01 specification: [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html elements] \| [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/attributes.html attributes] * HTML 5.2 specification: [//www.w3.org/TR/html5/fullindex.html#index-elements elements] \| [//www.w3.org/TR/html5/fullindex.html#attributes-table attributes] ~~{{Help navigation}}~~ ~~{{Wikipedia technical help\|collapsed}}~~ [[Category:Wikipedia editor help]]
