{{{text}}}
Usage
Provides a simple method of displaying text in a colored box with a fixed-pitch font. Also, unlike with <pre>...</pre> tags or the wiki markup of starting a line with a space, any long lines of text will wrap to the screen's width. This makes it useful for displaying examples of MARC fields or entire MARC records.
To indent a box in order to align it with text in a bullet list or the like, use the "indent=" parameter with a number of ems to indent the box. (1 em is usually roughly equivalent to the indenting distance a browser uses for each level of a list.)
Examples
{{example|text=504 Includes index.}} gives:
504 Includes index.
{{example|text=
100 1 Smith, John.
245 10 Baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie /{{subfield|c}}by John Smith.}}
gives:
100 1 Smith, John.
245 10 Baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie /‡cby John Smith.
{{example|indent=1|text=504 Includes index.}} gives:
504 Includes index.
