Template:Tip/doc

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

Usage

Method 1

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

{{tip}}Try it this way!

Tip: Try it this way!

Method 2

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

{{tip|Here is a long tip, which 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.}}

Tip:	Here is a long tip, which 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.

Otherwise it would look like this:

Tip: Here is a long tip, which 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 "Tip" to the second parameter passed to the template.

{{tip|Try this!|Suggestion}}

Suggestion:

Try this!

To achieve the same effect as Method 1 (i.e. tip text is allowed to wrap onto the next line), simply only specify the second parameter and put the tip text outside.

{{tip|2=Suggestion}}Try this!

Suggestion: Try this!
