I've did this change, but it doesn't seem to work. Can somebody with more Lua knowledge take a look? See example here: User:Andrybak/sandbox/demonocat -- note, that page is added to Category:Wikipedians in Russia, but shouldn't be. —⁠andrybak (talk) 11:15, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 22 March 2019

Please remove the line <noinclude>{{pp-template|small=yes}}</noinclude> - protection templates are automatically handled by the documentation page. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 06:39, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Syntax highlighting

Please incorporate a parameter to enable syntax highlighting of the preformatted text with <syntaxhighlight lang="{wikitext|html|etc.}">. I've attempted to develop this in the sandbox, without success. —swpb^{T • beyond • mutual} 13:55, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I believe the syntax should be highlighted by default. Why not? wikitext is a good default that would work with HTML as well. BTW, do we even need html as a parameter? Jack who built the house (talk) 08:40, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

So, I've managed to get the code in the sandbox to work. The resulting look is a bit different from <pre>...</pre>: you can't set display: inline to <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>, as suggested in Template:Demo. Also, if used without <nowiki>...</nowiki>, the templates are replaced with their code, but the code is still treated as code. Compare

<big style="color:#DF0A24; font-size:1.4em;">&#x2717;</big>&nbsp;'''Fail'''

and

{{fail}}

. This result is kind of better than with <pre>...</pre>: when there are no templates inside, <nowiki>...</nowiki> can be omitted (but people might forget that they haven't used <nowiki>...</nowiki> and use a template which will expand). Jack who built the house (talk) 19:52, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Please update Module:Demo from Module:Demo/sandbox. Test cases: Template:Demo/testcases. Ping the OP: @Swpb. Jack who built the house (talk) 15:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

 Done Sidenote to JWBTH, your signature is messed up and should be fixed. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:09, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Haha, thanks! Forgot to check a checkbox. I don't even see my signature due to a script, and the author username was displayed correctly :) Jack who built the house (talk) 00:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Changes announcement

I'm to make an edit to the module with several notable changes that you can see here or in the test cases:

• HTML tags in the code snippet will work (they don't now). So, the template will be able to be used to show demonstrations of any code, not necessarily of templates.
• Markup that must be at the start of the line (like *, {|) will work. It doesn't work for the first line now.
• There will be |reverse=1 parameter to show the code snippet and the result in reverse order.
• There will be no <br> after the code snippet by default, because it creates nonfunctional empty space. Many usages of the template try to remove that space. I haven't witnessed cases where it was justified.
• |br= will be renamed to |sep=, from "separator" (|br= will still work) because the more popular usage of the parameter is to add some meaningful text between the snippet and the result, not just line breaks.
