Usage
This template adds semantic tags to exclude selected text from an article when it is rendered into a digital document such as a PDF or DjVu file, or printed, either through the "Printable version" or the "Create a book" links on the side bar. It is used to hide elements that make no sense in print such as "Click the name of a town on the map for more details".
Where possible you can also use class="noprint" to any HTML block element, or span class="noprint" to an inline element, in order to hide that content from printing. This template is actually a shorthand for the first option, and also applies {{trim}} to remove any extraneous whitespace from around it.
- DO NOT use this on large sections that include headings (==This is a heading==). This will cause the edit link next to the heading to disappear.
Examples
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
text to show {{noprint|text to be hidden}} more text to show |
text to show more text to show |
text to show {{noprint|1=text to be hidden with an equals = sign in it }} more text to show |
text to show more text to show |
Note the use of the explicitly named positional parameter when the text contains an equals sign.
