Template:Caution/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Caution (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used for notes that are more important than {{note}}, but less important than {{warning}}.

Usage

Method 1

The following displays the caution icon and the word 'Caution:'. You can follow this with whatever text/images/markup you like.

{{caution}}Don't do that!

Caution: Don't do that!

Method 2

The following includes the text passed to the template, and uses a table to stop the text flowing round the icon.

{{caution|This is a very long caution! It is sufficiently wordy to run
 onto a second line, which would normally cause it to wrap round the
 icon, but because we passed it as a parameter it keeps its left
 alignment straight!}}

Caution:

This is a very long caution! It is sufficiently wordy to run onto a second line, which would normally cause it to wrap round the icon, but because we passed it as a parameter it keeps its left alignment straight!

Method 3

The following changes the word "Caution" to a different word.

{{caution|Don't do that!|Whoa}}

Whoa:

Don't do that!

To make it like Method 1 (i.e. to allow the text to run onto another line) simply only specify the second parameter and put the text outside the template:

{{caution|2=Whoa}}Don't do that!

Whoa: Don't do that!
