Usage

{{tt|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 {{#vardefine:tag|tt}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content|...}}</{{#var:tag}}>, 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 cannot be used to mark up multiple paragraphs, sections or other block elements, as it uses {{#vardefine:tag|span}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content|...}}</{{#var:tag}}>, which is an inline element.

{{#vardefine:tag|code}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content|...}}</{{#var:tag}}> is normally used to indicate source code and {{#vardefine:tag|var}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content|...}}</{{#var:tag}}> for variables or variable input.
{{#vardefine:tag|kbd}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content|...}}</{{#var:tag}}> and {{#vardefine:tag|samp}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content|...}}</{{#var:tag}}> display similarly to {{#vardefine:tag|tt}}{{#vardefine:tag_content| }}<{{#var:tag}}>{{#var:tag_content}}, and are normally used for keyboard and samples.

For example:

• {{tt|123<br/>ABC}}

produces

• 123
  ABC

rather than

• 123
  ABC

Parameter

{{{1}}} or unnamed

The content to format as monospaced. If the content contains a = character, {{=}} must be used instead.

Note: Copied from wikipedia:Template:Mono, renamed to 'tt' because it replaces the tt tag.
"monospace, monospace" needed per wikipedia:Wikipedia:Typography#The_monospace_'bug'
