Usage
edit{{Mono|text to format here}}
renders as:
text to format here
This template is for formatting short bits of content (the only parameter) as monospaced (nonproportional) text. It is simply a quick shorthand for the necessary CSS code. It is a replacement for <tt>...</tt> which is an obsolete element under HTML5. (Non-conforming features)
This template should be used where the content is being rendered in monospaced text for purely stylistic/display reasons, where this display has no particular semantic significance.
It should not be used to indicate source code, nor for variables or variable input (use <code>...</code> and <var>...</var>, respectively). For keyboard or samples, use <kbd>...</kbd> or <samp>...</samp> respectively.
It cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses <span>, which is an inline element. See {{Monoblock}} for a <div>-based block version. Or, multiple instances of {{Mono}} can be invoked.
