Template:Lang/sandbox

Template documentation

Using this template, a specific language code can be specified in the HTML code.

Usage

{{Lang|1=|2=}}

This template applies the “lang” attribute to either a “span” or a “div” tag as needed (or another tag if specified), which is then used to wrap the text. It also adds CSS classes, that for example allow CSS highlighting text that is in a specific language. For a list of language codes to use for parameter 1 see List of ISO 639-1 codes.

This template (the production version, not this sandbox version) is for example called from autotranslatable templates. Wikidata, like Commons and other multilingual Wikimedia projects, thus requires support for this template on both blocks of text and inline strings of text. “div” works for text blocks, but “span” is necessary for any inline uses of this template.

The following examples demonstrate this template at work in both inline and block contexts:

Example sentence that is partially Note: The test for block content resulted in “000000”.en français. It should still appear on the same line, though.

Block elements are useful for structuring stuff.

Note: The test for block content resulted in “000000”.

Manchmal müssen sie in ihrer Gesamtheit als deutschsprachig ausgezeichnet werden.

Oder auch mehrere.

So you see, it’s not all that simple.

Note that block elements can also be introduced by wiki markup:

Note: The test for block content resulted in “000000”.Es kommen jetzt Blöcke:

• Dies ist ein Block.
• Dies ist noch einer.
