New page

{{{2|}}}{| style="width:100%; table-layout: fixed; border-spacing: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #000; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(234, 236, 240);"
|{{#tag:pre|{{{1}}}|style="margin: 0; padding: {{{3|1em}}}; background: none; border: none; white-space: pre; overflow-x: auto; font-family: monospace;"}}
|}<noinclude>

== Purpose ==
Create a code line which can be indented with the usual <code>:</code> indentation marker. Normally, a preformatted text block can be inserted with an additional space in the beginning, e.g.

<nowiki> MY_SPECIAL_TAG = A B C</nowiki>

will print as:

MY_SPECIAL_TAG = A B C

However, this syntax does not allow indenting, e.g., in lists. The <code>CL</code> (as in '''C'''ode '''L'''ine) template allows the box to be indented any level. At the same time usage of nested templates, e.g., using [[Template:TAG]] inside works (does not work with <code>:<pre>...</pre></code>.{{NB|mind|This template is intended for a single line only! The For multi-line code blocks use [[Template:CB]] instead, however, this does not support nested templates.}}

== Parameters ==

<nowiki> {{CL|<content>|<<indent>>|<<padding>>}}</nowiki>

* <code>content</code>: The content of the code block.
* <code>indent</code>: ('''optional''') Allows to indent the whole box with regular colon sign. Use multiple ":" signs to get any level of indentation. Can be left empty if no indentation is needed but <code>padding</code> is required. Any other character than ":" may produce unexpected results!
* <code>padding</code>: ('''optional''') Specifies the padding of the code box, the default is <code>1em</code>.

== Examples ==

Without optional arguments the following example

<nowiki>{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C}}</nowiki>

gives:

{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C}}

This should be very close to the regular preformatted text boxes we can obtain via MediaWiki syntax. Here are two examples for indentation levels:

<nowiki>{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|:}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|::}}</nowiki>

results in:

{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|:}}
{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|::}}

Note that the boxes are correctly indented one and two levels. The padding can be reduced with the optional argument, e.g.:

<nowiki>{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|:|0.5em}}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|::|0.5em}}</nowiki>

gives this:

{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|:|0.5em}}
{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C|::|0.5em}}

Finally, the padding can also be specified without any indentation:

<nowiki>{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C||0.5em}}</nowiki>

shows as:

{{CL|MY_SPECIAL_TAG {{=}} A B C||0.5em}}

== Problems and workarounds ==

The <code>content</code> cannot contain the "=" or "|" character because this has a special meaning for named template parameters. Therefore, we have to use the <code><nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></code> template, respectively.
