Template:Instruction

Usage of Instruction Template

The text should be reasonably concise (preferably no more than ten lines) so as not to dominate the main contents of the article. Should a longer instruction be needed, consider making it a separate section, or if necessary a separate article (page) linked to from the current article. That link itself should be inside an Instruction Template so as to give the best chance that users will pay attention to it and click through to the actual instructions.

When a new paragraph or list item is needed in the instruction, you can use ENTER on the keyboard to create one, just as in normal Wiki editing.

General usage:

Example:

Typing this:

will produce this:

Special cases:

If the text must contain the equals sign "=", use &quot;1=&quot; after the pipe symbol "|" thus:

If other essential symbols in the text still cause it to display incorrectly, try enclosing the text after the pipe inside      tags. This solution would also work with the above example:

However,     tags will not work if you need to use another template inside the Instruction template, as they will prevent the other templates being parsed. In this case, the only solution is to precede the entire text string after the first pipe by "1=", like this:

which produces:

Note also that in this example the second template must itself contain the "1=" prefix, as its URL contains an equals sign.

Ignore the following, it's only a representation of formatting and a parameter dummy.
