Template:Tltt/doc

Meaning
tltt stands for "template link with tooltip". "tt" also stood for the  tags that formerly surrounded it (for compliance with HTML5 these were replaced with , which also displays a monospaced font ).

Usage
Like A template to refer to templates. Name stands for 'template link'. (see documentation), with an additional parameter for the tooltip. This will be displayed when user hovers over the curly braces. (Try it right here: Template link with tooltip!)

The template is meant to be used in pages such as Our list of user warning templates, where it is desirable to provide a bit more explanation for a template than what its name reveals.

Differently from undefined, the font is set in monospace, so that all text appears in non-proportional font.

The template also permits up to two named parameters, like so:

Produces:
 * Tooltip text

Known problems

 * On some systems, the text only displays when user hovers over the curly braces, not over the link itself.
 * It is not possible to include double quotes in the text. Use single quotes instead.
