Wrap-Plugin

Basic Syntax:

<WRAP classes #id width :language>
"big" content
</WRAP>

or
<block classes #id width :language>
"big" content
</block>

or
<div classes #id width :language>
"big" content
</div>

An uppercase <WRAP> (or alternatively <block> or <div>) creates a div and should be used for „big“ containers, surrounding paragraphs, lists, tables, etc.

<wrap classes #id width :language>"small" content</wrap>

or
<inline classes #id width :language>"small" content</inline>

or
<span classes #id width :language>"small" content</span>

A lowercase <wrap> (or alternatively <inline> or <span>) creates a span and should be used for „small“ containers, inside paragraphs, lists, tables, etc.

Since version 2013-06-13 there is also a shorthand syntax (for wraps without content):

<WRAP classes #id /> or <block classes #id /> or <div classes #id />

and

<wrap classes #id /> or <inline classes #id /> or <span classes #id />

Please note, some things won't work with spans: alignments (including alignments generated by changing the text direction), multi-columns and widths if the according wrap isn't floated as well.

The plugin comes with an example page, which should explain a lot and looks like this in the default template (see below).

The following classes are currently available:

class name	description/notes
columns
column	same as left in LTR languages and same as right in RTL languages
left	same as column, will let you float your container on the left
right	will let the container float right
center	will position the container in the horizontal center of the page
col2..col5	will show the text in multiple columns (2, 3, 4 or 5), only works in modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome and Safari)
widths – experimental, might not work as expected, includes mobile support
half	fits two columns in a row, should be used in pairs
third	fits three columns in a row, should be used in triplets
quarter	fits four columns in a row, should be used in quads
alignments don't work with spans!
leftalign	aligns text on the left
rightalign	aligns text on the right
centeralign	centers the text
justify	justifies the text
boxes and notes
box	creates a box around the container (uses colours from style.ini)
info (was information in first version)	creates a blue box with an info icon
important	creates an orange box with an important icon
alert ( was warning in previous versions)	creates a red box with an alert icon
tip	creates a yellow box with a tip icon
help	creates a violet box with a help icon
todo	creates a cyan box with an todo icon
download	creates a green box with a download icon
round	adds rounded corners to any container with a background colour or a border (only works in modern browsers, i.e. no IE)
danger	creates a red danger safety note
warning	creates an orange warning safety note
caution	creates a yellow caution safety note
notice	creates a blue notice safety note
safety	creates a green safety note
marks
hi	marks text as highlighted
lo	marks text as less significant
em	marks text as especially emphasised
miscellaneous
clear	should preferably be used with divs, i.e. uppercase <WRAP>s
tabs	if wrapped around a list of links, will show those as tabs
hide	hides the text per CSS (the text will still appear in the source code, in non-modern browsers and is searchable)
noprint	displays text on the screen, but not in print
onlyprint	displays text only in print, but not on the screen
pagebreak	forces a new page in printouts (not visible on the screen)
nopagebreak	tries to avoid a pagebreak in printouts (not visible on the screen)
spoiler	shows white text on a white background, only to be revealed by highlighting it
button	when wrapped around a link, styles it like a button
indent	indents the text
outdent	„outdents“ the text
prewrap	wraps text inside pre-formatted code blocks

All tables inside a column or box will always be 100% wide. This makes positioning and sizing tables possible.

• WRAPs won't export in ODT format.
• Round corners only work in modern browsers (no IE8 and below).
• Multiple columns only work in modern browsers (no IE9 and below).
• Width classes are experimental and only work in modern browsers (no IE8 and below).
• Normal DokuWiki Headlines used to not work and a work-around was added. Now that headlines do work, the work-around is not needed anymore but kept for backwards-compatibility. The following syntax would produce two different kinds of emulated headlines inside any of the columns or boxes/notes:
  • //**__Big Underlined Headline__**// (They will look a bit different in safety notes.)
  • //**Small Headline**//

You might need to adjust a few of the classes to your template's needs, especially hi, lo and em. If you have a dark or otherwise heavily coloured theme, please use the darkTpl in config option.

The classes are easily adjustable and extensible. Any wishes are welcome.

You can set any valid widths on any uppercase <WRAP> container: %, px, em, ex, pt, pc, cm, mm, in. Just set the width before or after or with the classes, e.g.

<WRAP someclass 50% anotherclass>...

All except percentages will be reduced to have the maximum width available on smaller screens.

You can also use the width keywords half, third and quarter. To work correctly they need another wrap around them. E.g.

<WRAP group>
  <WRAP half column>...</WRAP>
  <WRAP half column>...</WRAP>
</WRAP>

will result in two columns next to each other, which will wrap underneath each other on smaller screens and mobile devices.

You can change the language and the direction of a container by simply adding a colon followed by the language code, like this:

<wrap :en>This text is explicitly marked as English.</wrap>

The text direction (rtl, right to left or ltr, left to right) will get inserted automatically and is solely dependent on the language. The list of currently supported languages is taken from: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:List_of_language_names_ordered_by_code

If you like to mark a text with a different text direction than the default one, you should use divs, i.e. uppercase <WRAP>s. Otherwise the text alignment won't change as well.
