Template:Scroll box

Template:Tl uses <pre> tags, but with text that is either wrapped or is contained in a horizontal scrollbox. This means the text will not stretch past the right side of the screen.

As it uses real <pre> tags (unlike Template:Tl), it will be displayed correctly regardless of how the user's Wikipedia skin renders <pre> boxes.

If you want to disable wikitext in it, you should use <nowiki> tags inside the template (see below).

Usage

Wrapped text

{{Pre2|Text to be displayed. And more and more and more... and a paragraph break.

And then more and more...}}</code></span>

produces:

Template:Pre2

Scrollbox

<code>{{Pre2|scroll|Text to be displayed. And more and more and more... and a paragraph break. <p> And then more and more...}}</code>

produces:

Style

When the text contains links is better to change the text color, thus highlighting:

<code>{{Pre2|style=color:green|Text to be [[Hyperlink|link]]. WARNING! A{{=}}B, you must use Template:=. And more and more and more... and a paragraph break. <p> And then more and more...}}</code>

produces:

Using wikitext Template:Anchor

To disable wikitext (e.g. [[links]]), <nowiki> tags must be used in the form:

<code>{{Pre2|<nowiki>Your [[text]]{{dn|name=Pre2}}, which ''might'' include {{tl|templates}}.<noinclude>[[Category:Examples]]</noinclude></nowiki>}}</code>

This will produce this: Template:Pre2

as opposed to: Template:Pre2
