(Purpose: to create new templates in a consistent format)

(Purpose: to create template pages for temporary transclusions as article markup ‘cheat sheets’)

To do; from 4 August 2022

(Move to: Library:Daily notes/Unresolved/To do/2022-08-04; perhaps better to a named section, such as Library:Daily notes#Unresolved#2022-08-04??)

To do:

* Make template and prototype ‘subst’ statement to create an HTML comment in wikitext
  (make it language-neutral, e.g.:
    - Template:Subst produces: < ! - - comment - - > (without spaces, of course)
    - Template:Subst   produces: // comment
    - Template:Subst produces: # comment
    - Template:Subst    produces: /* comment */
    - Template:Subst   produces: ??
* Make similar templates for other types of markup and elements, e.g.:
    - URL links for setext / wikitext HTML / bbCode / GFM markdown / ‘communities’ sites / etc.

Semantic markup:

Abbreviation; <abbr>Example contents</abbr>: Example contents
<address>Example contents</address>: <address>Example contents</address>
<addr>Example contents</addr>: <addr>Example contents</addr>
Citation; <cite>Example contents</cite>: Example contents
Computer code; <code>Example contents</code>: Example contents
Definition; <dfn>Example contents</dfn>: Example contents
User input; <kbd>Example contents</kbd>: Example contents
Highlighted; <mark>Example contents</mark>: Example contents
Output sample; <samp>Example contents</samp>: Example contents
Math variable; <var>Example contents</var>: Example contents

Data:

Time; <time>Example contents</time>: Example contents
Time, machine-readable; <time parameter=??>Example contents</time>: Example contents

Other:

Quotation; <q>Example contents</q>: Example contents
Strikethrough; <s>Example contents</s>: ~~Example contents~~
Insertion; <ins>Example contents</ins>: Example contents
Deletion; <del>Example contents</del>: ~~Example contents~~
Plain text; <span>Example contents</span>: Example contents

Archaic tags
