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. Headings are [[Wikipedia:Help:Cascading Style Sheets#Wiki headings\|styled through CSS]] and added to the page's [[Wikipedia:Help:table of contents\|table of contents]]. {{markup Line 376: ===== HTML entities ===== {{tag\|pre\|o}} parses [[Wikipedia:Character encodings in HTML\|HTML entities]]. If you want to escape this, replace <code>&</code> with <code>&amp;</code>, or use {{xtag\|source\|params = lang="text"}} instead. {{markup Line 418: [[Wikipedia:MOS:QUOTATIONS]] says Wikipedia should instead use "", {{tl\|quote}}, or <nowiki><blockquote></nowiki>. ~~==== rp, rt, ruby ====~~ ~~{{see\|Ruby character}}~~ ~~{{tag\|ruby}} marks spans of phrasing content with ruby annotations.~~ ~~{{tag\|rt}} marks the ruby text component of a ruby annotation; the ruby text shows in a reduced size over top of the normal characters.~~ ~~{{tag\|rp}} is used to provide parentheses around a ruby text component of a ruby annotation, to be shown by user agents that don’t support ruby annotations.~~ ~~Browsers that do not support ruby characters will show the ruby text in normal size, enclosed in parentheses and after the normal content.~~ ~~{{markup~~ ~~\|<nowiki><ruby>~~ ~~東<rp>(</rp><rt>とう</rt><rp>)</rp>~~ ~~京<rp>(</rp><rt>きょう</rt><rp>)</rp>~~ ~~</ruby></nowiki>~~ ~~\|<ruby>~~ ~~東<rp>(</rp><rt>とう</rt><rp>)</rp>~~ ~~京<rp>(</rp><rt>きょう</rt><rp>)</rp>~~ ~~</ruby>~~ }} ~~Templates:~~ * {{tlx\|ruby}} * {{tlx\|ruby-ja}} for Japanese * {{tlx\|Ruby-zh-p}} for Chinese pinyin * {{tlx\|Ruby-zh-b}} for Chinese bopomofo ==== s ==== Line 571 ⟶ 542: ==== wbr ==== {{see\|Wikipedia:Help:Line-break handling#<wbr /> and soft hyphens}} {{tag\|wbr\|o}} is a word break opportunity; that is, it specifies where it would be OK to add a line-break where a word is too long, or it is perceived that the browser will break a line at the wrong place.

Line 670 ⟶ 641: ==== span ==== {{see\|Wikipedia:Span and div}} {{tag\|span}} is a container for flow content that displays as an inline element. Line 801 ⟶ 772: === a === {{details\|Help:Wiki markup#Links and URLs}} {{tag\|a\|o}} is used to create links. Use the <code><nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki></code> wikimarkup for internal/intrawiki links and [[Wikipedia:interwiki links\|interwiki links]], and <code><nowiki>[ ]</nowiki></code> for external links. === input === {{details\|mwmediawikiwiki:Extension:InputBox}} {{tag\|input\|o}} is used to create [[Wikipedia:Form (HTML)\|forms]]. 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]]
