TemplateStyles' src attribute must not be empty.

This is a documentation subpage for Cèṭa'an:PreCode.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original cèṭa'an page.

Usage

beccè'

Wraps short spans of source code (typically programming language keywords) in which line breaks are not allowed. This needs to be used instead of <code>...</code>, because keywords in some programming languages contain characters that can trigger a line break even after the first character of the keyword.

Example usage

beccè'

For example, FORTH word (i.e. command) ?BRANCH contains a question mark.

Normally, you would write <code>?BRANCH</code> When the web browser sees the question mark near the end of line, the rendering could look like this:

some text that mentions

?
BRANCH

rest of the text

Usually, you want to force the question mark to be rendered next to the rest of the FORTH word.

When you use {{PreCode|?BRANCH}}, the resulting rendering will be never broken into two lines inside the source code.

Semantic markup templates

Template	Example output	Use
{{strong}}	Important!	To indicate <strong> importance, seriousness, or urgency instead of just simple typographical boldfacing
{{strongbad}}	"Never use ..."	Same as {{strong}} but in red
{{stronggood}}	"Only use ..."	Same as {{strong}} but in green
{{em}}	"An emphatic phrase"	To indicate <em> stress emphasis (not just purely typographical italicization like for book titles or foreign terms)
{{var}}	`strPrefix`	To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
{{var serif}}	`strIllustratePrefix`	(see {{var}} above)
{{tld}}	`{{DEFAULTSORT:Y, X}}`	To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code
{{para}}	`\|year=2008`	To display template parameters with or without values
{{param}}	`{{{title\|alt}}}`	To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above
{{tjp}}	selfref=yes	To display template parameters with colors (as they would appear in the {{tj}} and {{tji}} templates)
{{param value}}	`··2·blanks·fore·and·aft··`	To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
{{tlx}} etc.	`{{Template\|1\|2\|...\|10}}`	To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code
{{tji}}	{{hatnote ‹ The template below (Template journal parameter/arg) is being considered for deletion. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. › \|Hello ‹ The template below (Template journal parameter/arg) is being considered for deletion. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. › \|selfref=yes ‹ The template below (Template journal parameter/arg) is being considered for deletion. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. › \|category=no}}	To showcase with colors in horizontal format the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
{{tag}}	"The `<img>...</img>` tags ..."	To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose
{{code}}/{{codett}}	"Ensure the `alt=` parameter ..."	To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use `<code>...</code>`. {{codett}} differs only in styling: `someMethod` becomes `someMethod`
{{PreCode}}	"FORTH has keyword `?BRANCH`."	Like {{code}}, but prevents line breaks inside the code. Only for very short code parts.
{{subst:codenowiki}}	`{{small\|small text example}}`	To wrap example code in `<code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>`
{{subst:kbdnowiki}}	`{{large\|large text example}}`	To wrap example code in `<kbd><nowiki>...</nowiki></kbd>`
{{syntaxhighlight}}	_{[this is a block template]}	( or `{{sxhl}}` ) Wrapper for `<syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>`, but will wrap overflowing text
{{deprecated code}}	"Do not use `<Cèṭa'an:Deprecated code>`."	( or `{{dc}}` ) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The `{{dc2}}` variant uses strike-through (`<Cèṭa'an:Dc2>`) while `{{dcr}}` uses red (`<Cèṭa'an:Dcr>`).
{{pre}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text
{{tj}}	_{[this is a block template]}	To showcase with colors and multiple lines (vertical format) the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
{{quote}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For block quotations (only – never for non-quotations)
{{block indent}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For indented blocks of material; visually identical to `{{quote}}` but without quote markup
{{kbd}}	`user input`	To indicate user input
{{key press}}	`Ctrl`+`x`	To indicate specific-keystroke input, including combinations
{{key top}}	`Left shift`	Similar; includes more symbols, but does not directly support combinations
