This template should always be substituted (i.e., use ((subst:HTML comment)) ). |
Use this substitution to insert HTML comments (<!-- ... -->
) – hidden to readers – into Wikipedia pages.
((subst:html comment|Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet))
<!-- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet -->
By default a space will be added before and after the given text. Use
((subst:html comment|collapsed=yes|
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
))
will generate
<!--
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
-->
In substitutable templates, use (({((|safesubst:))}HTML comment|...))
.
Using this substitution allows the expansion of MediaWiki commands inside HTML comments, where they would be preserved verbatim otherwise. Compare:
((subst:html comment|((subst:FULLPAGENAME))))
<!-- Template:HTML comment -->
and:
<!-- ((subst:FULLPAGENAME)) -->
<!-- ((subst:FULLPAGENAME)) -->
