Usage
This template adds semantic tags to exclude selected text from an article when it is rendered into a digital document such as a PDF or DjVu file, or printed through the "Printable version" link on the side bar. It is used to hide elements that make no sense in print such as "Click the name of a town on the map for more details".
Where possible you can also use class="noprint" to any HTML block element, or span class="noprint" to an inline element, in order to hide that content from printing. This template is actually a shorthand for the first option, and also applies {{trim}} to remove any extraneous whitespace from around it.
- DO NOT use this on large sections that include headings (==This is a heading==). This will cause the edit link next to the heading to disappear.
Examples
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
text to show {{noprint|text to be hidden}} more text to show |
text to show more text to show |
text to show {{noprint|1=text to be hidden with an equals = sign in it }} more text to show |
text to show more text to show |
Note the use of the explicitly named positional parameter when the text contains an equals sign.
