Permitted HTML
The following HTML elements are currently permitted:
Span
<span>, a generic inline text container, is now allowed on default MediaWiki installations (as of version 1.5). Span can be ID'd, classed, or styled:
This is <span style="color:red">red</span> text. This is <span id="randomfooid">identified</span> text. This is <span class="importantmessage">classed</span> text.
produces:
This is red text. This is identified text. This is text.
IDs and classes are used in conjunction with stylesheets to give a piece of text a descriptive class (or unique identifier) and to refer to that in a stylesheet.
Note that in most cases, one can use a more descriptive tag, for instance, <strong> (which can be classed, identified, and styled, as well) to indicate an important piece of text, or <em> (subject to the same things as strong) to indicate an emphasized piece of text. For instance, the above might be better reformulated as
This is <em style="color:red;font-style:normal">red</em> text.
This is red text.
This not only draws the user's attention to the text, but can also alert those who are using nonvisual browsers or have sight impairments, etc. to the fact that that is emphasized text.
Using Template:Timc, "a height of {{h:title|6.1 km|20000 ft}} above sea level" gives "a height of Template:H:title above sea level" (note the hover box over "20000 ft").
Font
Note: This element should not be used. Use <span>.
For some attributes, like color, one can also use
a <font color="red">red</font> word.
giving
a red word
It's pontless to combine the legacy tag <font> with inline CSS, legacy browsers would ignore the CSS, while modern browsers support <span> (see above).
