[edit] [purge] Template documentation

For outdenting a reply on a talk page when indention gets too deep. Indenting on talk pages is done using a colon character (:) to produce tabs; this template produces a connector bar and initial text to indicate an outdent, based on the number of colons used in the previous indent

[edit] Usage

To outdent posts, insert the number of colons that were used for indenting in the previous post, or use an integer value for that number.

 ::::This is the previous post, indented 4 levels {{Outdent|::::}}start of a new post 

 ::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels {{Outdent|6}}start of a new post 

you can also have the template automatically add a linked tag, by using the t parameter:

 ::::::This is the previous post, indented 6 levels {{Outdent|6|t=y}}start of a new post 

the outdent template may also be indented using colons, like any other text.

Do not use subst: with this template.

This template is contained in the CSS class "outdent-template". Users who would prefer not to see the template can add the following line to their custom CSS (by default: Special:MyPage/monobook.css):

span.outdent-template { display: none; }
