Template:Italiclink
Template documentation- purpose
This template italicises any common type of link made within wiki markup. It will take a second placeholder parameter and use it as a pretty-print output string instead of any possibly unsightly full text url.
- It will detect ftp and url (http & https) based link arguments and branch to apropos handling code. These are still output with a trailing link marker as if formed using [ ... ] direct link formation.
- Wikilinks form similar pretty-print links using a second parameter:
[[{{{1}}}|{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]]
- The strength of this template is that can take any sort of link and italicize the output.
- Use of this template over
''[[ arg1 | pretty-arg2 ]]''inline is NOT recommended.
