Template:Typewriter underline

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

When this template appears in the "Page:" namespace, its single parameter is underlined. In the main namespace, it is italicized. Useful(?) in cases where the scanned original is typewritten and has underlined passages but italics are desired in the final, prepared text.

Example

  This is an {{typewriter underline|example}} of the template's use.

How it appears in the "Page:" namespace:

This is an example of the template's use.

And in the main namespace:

This is an example of the template's use.

Limitations

Transcluded text in the main article space is italicized only. There is no other choice for formatting, not even elimination of formatting. This may be addressed in the future, such as with an additional parameter (e.g. {{typewriter underline|example|bold}} to put the transcluded text in bold instead of in italics).
