Template Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Tltt/doc. (edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

Meaning

tltt stands for "template link with tooltip". "tt" also can stand for the <tt> tag that surrounds it.

Usage

Like {{tl}} (see documentation), with an additional parameter for the tooltip. This will be displayed when user hovers over the curly braces. (Try it right here: {{Any template}}!)

The template is meant to be used in pages such as {{TestTemplates}}, where it is desirable to provide a bit more explanation for a template than what its name reveals.

Differently from {{tl}}, the font is set in monospace, so that all text appears in non-proportional font.

The template also permits up to two named parameters, like so:

{{tltt|Template name|Tooltip text|par=First parameter=1|par2=Second parameter=2}}

Produces:

{{Template name|First parameter=1|Second parameter=2}}

Known problems

• On some systems, the text only displays when user hovers over the curly braces, not over the link itself.
• It is not possible to include double quotes in the text. Use single quotes instead.

• {{tltt2}} - allows one sample parameter
• {{tltt/tip}} - inform user that tooltips can be displayed
