<br />
== Usage ==<br />
The template {{Tnull|Term}} is used in template-structured glossaries to create terms to be defined, that are properly structured, have semantic value, and can be linked to as if independent sections. It is a wrapper for {{Tag|dt}}, the ''description list term'' HTML element.<br />
<br />
Basic usage:<br />
<br />
<span style="color:gray">{{Tl|Glossary}}</span><br />
<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}<var>term</var>}}</span><br />
<span style="color:gray">{{Tl|Defn|1{{=}}<var>Definition.</var>}}</span><br />
<span style="color:gray">{{Tl|Glossary end}}</span><br />
<br />
Inline templates, reference citations, wikimarkup styles, etc., can be applied to the term in the second parameter ({{Para|content}} or {{Para|2}}) as long as it remains without markup in the first parameter ({{Para|term}} or {{Para|1}}). Technically, the explicit parameter names are optional if the term or content does not contain the "=" character, but as any editors can add material, including templates or URLs with this character in them, <em>it is always safest to explicitly name or number the parameters</em>.<br />
* This will work: <span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">{{Tnull|Term|term{{=}}E{{=}}MC²}}</span><br />
* This will work: <span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}E{{=}}MC²}}</span><br />
* This will <strong style="color: red;">fail</strong>: <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #8B0000;">{{Tnull|Term|E{{=}}MC²}}</span><br />
<br />
More complex usage is typically:<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;">{{Tnull|Term|term{{=}}<var>term with no markup</var>&nbsp;|content{{=}}<var>term with markup</var>}}</div><br />
or<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;">{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}<var>term with no markup</var>&nbsp;|2{{=}}<var>term with markup</var>}}</div><br />
or<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;">{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}<var>term with no markup</var>&nbsp;|content{{=}}<var>term with markup</var>}}</div><br />
<br />
== Wiki-styling and linking of the term ==<br />
If the second or {{Para|content}} parameter is styled with wikimarkup, linked, or otherwise altered inside the template, the term <em>must</em> also be retained in unstyled form as the first or {{Para|term}} parameter. Failing to do so will cause the template to malfunction, since it must have a "clean" term name to use as the <code>id</code> of the element, for linking purposes, among other reasons. The order intentionally mirrors that of piped wikilinking (<code><nowiki>[[</nowiki><var>title</var>|<var>styled</var><nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>).<br />
* <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: #006400;">Correct</span>: <code>{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}EventServer |2{{=}}<nowiki>''EventServer''</nowiki>}}</code><br />
* <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: #8B0000;">Wrong</span>: <code>{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}<nowiki>''EventServer''</nowiki>}}</code><br />
Style cannot be applied <em>around</em> the template, either, as it is a container for content (the term), not content itself (and doing so will produce invalid markup that will have unpredictable results depending upon browser):<br />
* <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: #8B0000;">Wrong</span>: <code><nowiki>''</nowiki>{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}EventServer}}<nowiki>''</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
For the same reasons that links to other pages are discouraged in headings, <strong>links are discouraged in glossary terms</strong>:<br />
* <span class="example deprecated-content example-deprecated" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: #696969;">Deprecated</span>: <del class="deprecated-content" style="color: #808080; text-decoration: none;"><code>{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}EventServer|2{{=}}<nowiki>''&#91;&#91;EventServer&#93;&#93;''</nowiki>}}</code></del><br />
* <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: #006400;">Preferred</span>: <code>{{Tnull|Term|1{{=}}EventServer|2{{=}}<nowiki>''EventServer''</nowiki>}}</code>, and use of a hatnote in the {{Tlx|Defn}} definition to link to the main article [[EventServer]].<br />
<br />
Again, as with the first parameter (the term) itself, if the "<code>=</code>" character (equals sign) is used in the content of this second parameter, the syntax <em>requires</em> that the parameter be explicitly specified (and because many URLs, e.g. in reference citations, can contain this character, it is always safest to number or name the parameters):<br />
<br />
numbered:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;">{{Tnull|Term|2=<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">1=</span>E&#61;MC²|3=<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">2=</span>E&#61;MC<nowiki><sup>2</sup></nowiki>}}</div><br />
or named:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;">{{Tnull|Term|2=<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">term=</span>E&#61;MC²|3=<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">content=</span>E&#61;MC<nowiki><sup>2</sup></nowiki>}}</div><br />
<br />
== Linking to the term ==<br />
{{Tlx|Term}} automatically creates a link anchor point (an HTML <code>id</code>) from an <em>all-lowercase</em> conversion of the original term ({{Para|term}} or {{Para|1}}) or {{Para|id}}. About 90% of the links to glossary entries are going to be mid-sentence, and thus will start with a lower-case letter, except for proper names. The Glossary link template will auto-lowercase any input they're given as a link target for you. So, the only catch is if you manually create a link like <code><nowiki>[[List of built-in functions#System built-in.27s|System built-ins]]</nowiki></code> and do not lower-case the <code>#Democratic Party</code> part. Thus, you should use Glossary link.<br />
<br />
If your glossary has an unusual case in which one entry and another share the exact same name except for case (thus would get the same lower-cased HTML <code>id</code>), then the upper-case one must be given a unique {{Para|id}} value, <em>and</em> prevented from conflicting with the lower-case one's HTML <code>id</code>. This can be done by changing its {{Para|id}} to a variant (e.g. with a number), then manually injecting a second HTML <samp>id</samp> (with upper-case) by using the {{Para|content|=}} parameter and an anchor template:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
{{Term|term=foo}}<br />
{{Defn|Definition of lower-case version here ...<br />
{{Term|term=Foo |id=Foo_2 |content={{Anchor|Foo}} }}<br />
{{Defn|Definition of proper-name version here ...<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
You can then link to them as <code>#foo</code> and <code>#Foo</code>, respectively. (Technically the second can also be addressed as <code>#foo_2</code>, which will have been lower-cased by the template code, but this would not be very intuitive and is just an artifact of the work-around.)<br />
<br />
The template {{Tlx|Anchor}} can also be used in the {{Para|content}} a/k/a. {{Para|2}} parameter, e.g. to provide the plural of the term (the most common usage), an alternative spelling, the old name of an entry that was linked to but has since changed, or a shortcut link anchor name.<br />
<br />
As with styled terms, the first parameter must be used to provide the "bare" term, the second to provide this extra markup. It is not necessary to add the term itself to the {{Tnull|Anchor}} template when using {{Tnull|Term}}:<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;">{{Tnull|Term|2=1=shortstop&nbsp;|3=content=shortstop<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;">{{Tnull|Anchor|shortstops|short-stop|short stop|sslink}}</span>}}</div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size: 90%;"><br />
By contrast, when using semicolon-delimited terms in unstructured glossaries, the term <em>does</em> need to be added explicitly as an anchor if link anchorage is desired (which is almost always the case):<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0; overflow: hidden;"><code><nowiki>;</nowiki>shortstop</code>{{Tnull|Anchor|<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;"><code>shortstop</code></span>|shortstops|short-stop|short stop|sslink}}</div>.<br />
<br />
(Strictly speaking, this fact has nothing to do with this template, but may be of use to editors who are converting from one glossary style to the other.)<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== Multiple terms sharing a definition ==<br />
Two or more {{Tnull|Term}}s can be used for synonyms with a shared definition, though keep in mind that people looking for one and not finding it where they expect it to be alphabetized are liable to assume it is missing if you do not create a cross-reference entry. The parameter {{Para|multi|y}} is used on second and subsequent terms to visually group the terms close together so it is clear that they share a definition: <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>{{Term|1=aspirin}}</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>{{Defn|1=A mild analgesic of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) family...}}</nowiki><br />
<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;"><nowiki>{{Term|1=heroin}}</nowiki></span><br />
<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;"><nowiki>{{Term|1=diacetylmorphine |multi=y}}</nowiki></span><br />
<span class="example example-bold" style="font-weight: bold; color: #006400;"><nowiki>{{Term|1=diamorpine |multi=y}}</nowiki></span><br />
<nowiki>{{Defn|1=A synthetic narcotic drug of the opiate family...}}</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>{{Term|1=ranitidine}}</nowiki><br />
<nowiki>{{Defn|1=An antacid of the proton pump inhibitor family...}}</nowiki><br />
<br />

{{Glossary end}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Applying CSS styles to the term ==<br />
The {{Para|style}} parameter will pass CSS styling on to the {{Tag|dt|o}} element, e.g. {{Para|style|font-family: serif;}}. I.e., this styles the term itself, not the definitions of it, other term entries, or the glossary as a whole. This feature is uncommonly but sometimes importantly needed in articles (usually for formatting the appearance of an specific entry for some reason, e.g. certain mathematical constants and the like that are always given in a serif font). It can also be useful outside of articles, for things like matching custom projectpage or userpage style.<br />
<br />
== Other parameters ==<br />
<div class="floatright" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; border: 1px solid #aaa; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0.5em 0 0.8em 1.4em; padding: 10px; font-size: 88%; max-width: 100%; width: 30%;"><div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; text-align: center; font-size: larger; font-weight: bold;">HTML5 update:</div><blockquote style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">Most of the restrictions on the content of <code>id</code> have been removed, so <code>id</code> values no longer have to begin with an <code>[a-z][A-Z]</code> alphabetic character, avoid most punctuation marks, or suffer other such limitations. The MediaWiki engine is smart enough to auto-escape any problematic characters, on the fly.</blockquote></div><br />
<br />
The {{Para|id}} parameter can be used to assign a one-word, case-sensitive ID name to term. It must be unique on the page. This can be used as another #link target, and could have other metadata uses. <em>By default, the {{Para|term}} a.k.a. {{Para|1}} parameter is already set as the ID, and this should rarely be overridden, unless there are two identical terms on the same page creating conflicting IDs.</em> Usually the {{Tlx|Anchor}} template is used to add more link targets to an entry (see [[#Linking to the term|Linking to the term]] for details). Note that providing an empty <code>id</code> (such as with HTML {{Tag|!--|content=comments}}) will emit an empty <code>id</code> parameter to the tag, which is invalid HTML.<br />
<br />
The {{Para|noid}} parameter, if given as <kbd>true</kbd> / <kbd>y</kbd> / <kbd>yes</kbd>, will suppress generation of the <code>id</code> field entirely. This is usually undesirable, except in the case where the anchor {{Para|text}} of the generated {{Para|term}} is to another {{Tlx|Term}} defined in the article.<br />
<br />
The {{Para|class}} parameter will pass one or more space-separated CSS classes on to the {{Tag|dt|o}} element, in addition to the automatically included class <code>glossary</code>. <em>There is rarely any reason to do this, especially in mainspace.</em><br />

==Images, hatnotes, and other content==<br />
Images, hatnotes and other "add-in" content intended to immediately follow the {{tnull|term}} <em>must be used at the top of (inside) the first {{Tnull|Defn}} of the {{Tnull|Term}}.</em> They <strong>cannot</strong> be placed between the {{Tnull|Term}} and {{Tnull|Defn}} or it will break the glossary markup. Images can, of course, be placed elsewhere within the {{Tnull|Defn}}, and bottom-notes like {{Tl|More}} can be placed at the end of, but <em>inside</em>, a {{Tnull|Defn}}. When used with a multi-definition term, the definition in which the {{Tnull|ghat}} appears must be manually numbered (usually <code>1&amp;nbsp; ...</code>, as shown in the example below).<br />

==Technical details==<br />
What this template does on the technical level is wrap the <var>term</var> in the {{Tag|dfn}} HTML element to semantically mark the term as the <em>defining instance</em> on the page of the defined term, and puts this marked-up content inside a {{Tag|dt}} ''term'' element of a {{Tag|dl}} description list (a.k.a. definition list, association list; the list is generated by the {{Tlx|Glossary}} and {{Tlx|Glossary end}} templates), and gives CSS <code>class="glossary"</code> to the {{Tag|dt|o}} element. That class isn't doing anything yet, but it could later, like a slight font size increase.<br />
<br />
