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.

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!
