Template:Wikibullet/doc

Purpose
This template supplies a "noprint" class bulleted item.

Authors of templates which provide bulleted items such as search links are responsible for applying an informed and judicious use of HTML classes noprint.

Applicable attributes include
 * selfreference: A direct reference to what is not content. These are stripped from some re-use of content.
 * metadata: A reference to content in the context of Wikipedia operations or maintenance; for example, references to status or maintenance categories or tags that are not content proper. These also are stripped from some re-use of content; for example, in print and in "extracts" they are removed, but not in "mobile".
 * noprint: Online-only elements. They make little or no sense in a paper or electronic facsimile of the online page.  Online, the display elements with the "noprint" attribute are stripped from a print preview of page. For example, a button or other elements that require interactive actions in order to be useful.
 * nomobile: Hides things explicitly from the "mobile" medium. (No room for interpretation.)
 * plainlinks: Can, for example, hide this section's external-link [] arrow icon as, or even.

Templates that apply these attributes include, for example selfref and nomirror.

For example, the output of the intitle or lookfrom are self-references in article space. In other namespaces, such as this one, a search link is not a self reference, and may need to be printed.

Usage

 * parameter one
 * the bullet item, also noprint


 * parameter two, three, and four
 * the HTML classes

For good spacing in the rendering on screen or paper place noprint bullets at the top or bottom of bullet list, not in the middle: The spacing in the screen version and print versions are slightly different. The discrepancy between the screen and normal bullets, begins to show after three bullets: see columns two and three. The same discrepancy does not show in print. The column labeled "Wrong" does not space well in print.

It goes at the beginning of a line. The first parameter as the bullet item. For example,
