Template:Stronggood/doc

Usage

This template is used to insert a quick and easy positive notice with high visibility (because it is green) on project and discussion pages (like the following sentence). Only use this template on non-article pages. (It cannot actually be used in articles; it will generate an error.) In situations where color is not relevant (color blindness, screen readers, etc.), it renders exactly the same as {{strong}} (to which it is a CSS-styled call). It is the opposite of the {{strongbad}} template.

{{stronggood|important text}}

or, if the important text contains an equals sign:

{{stronggood|1=important text}}

These both render as:

important text

It is safest to always use the |1= syntax.

This template puts intentional and explicit <strong>...</strong> (importance, seriousness, or urgency) HTML markup around the text provided as the first parameter.

Because some people are color blind, and some use screen readers, this template should not be used in a manner in which only the color indicates the difference between the content being marked up and other content; it's simply a visual aid for those who can use it.

Parameters

See Template:Strong#Optional parameters.

See also

• {{strong}} – same but not green (same color as surrounding text, usually black)
• {{strongbad}} – same but red
• {{em}} – for italic rather than bold semantic emphasis
   

• {{xt}} inline positive example text, in green, with serif font
• {{xt2}} same as {{xt}} but for blocks of text
• {{bxt}} same as {{xt}} but uses bold instead of serif font
• {{mxt}} same as {{xt}} but uses mono-spaced font (especially useful in source code)
   
• {{!xt}} inline negative example text, in red, with serif font
• {{!xt2}} same as {{!xt}} but for blocks (i.e., same as {{xt2}} but red)
• {{!bxt}} same as {{!xt}} but uses boldface
• {{!mxt}} same as {{!xt}} but uses mono-spaced font; used for incorrect or strongly deprecated code/output/input examples and should usually be wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd> as appropriate; see also {{dc}} and its variants below
• {{!xts}} same as {{xt}} but also strikes through the text
• {{dcr}} inline strongly deprecated or deleted material; {{dc2}} variant has strikethrough (they both use the <del> element, and do not add monospace font on their own; can be used in mainspace (articles), and where necessary wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd>); see also {{dc}} below
   
• {{xtd}} inline deprecated (or uncertain, unavailable, lorem, etc.) example text, in grey
• {{bxtd}} same as {{xtd}} but uses boldface
• {{mxtd}} same as {{xtd}} but uses mono-spaced font
• {{dc}} inline deprecated or deleted material; (uses the <del> element, and does not add monospace font on it own; can be used in mainspace (articles), and where necessary wrapped in <code>, <samp>, or <kbd>); see also {{dcr}} above
   
• {{xtn}} inline neutral example text, with no color change, when none of the above applies; used for "permissible" examples neither favored nor deprecated
• {{xtn2}} same as {{xtn}} but for blocks of text
• {{bxtn}} same as {{xtn}} but uses boldface; it still applies a CSS class, so it's not simply boldfacing
• {{mxtn}} same as {{xtn}} but uses mono-spaced font; this is a good template to use when the shaded box formatting of <code>...</code> might be undesirable, or the semantics of it is incorrect in the context
   
• {{strongbad}} – for introducing something as deprecated or issuing some other warning in documentation, e.g.: Not for use in mainspace.
