Template:Hide in print/doc

Usage

This template simply returns the passed parameter. It can be used to exclude parts of a page (or template) in print versions. This works since it is a member of Category:Exclude in print.

Please note that the books functionality is still experimental. Hiding text in "PDF/book print" currently works different from hiding text for "normal printing". To hide something both in book and in normal printing, please use class="noprint" or {{noprint}}.

Please also note that this template has an unresolved bug such that it hides edit links from any included sections, see Template talk:Hide in print#Hides edit link bug. This means that using this template may inconvenience wikipedia editors. However, without the Hide in print wrapper, any printed book or PDF will include possibly unwanted parts. Therefore, please avoid using this template to hide sections.

Examples

{{hide in print|text to be hidden}}

{{hide in print|1=text to be hidden that uses an = sign}}

Edit section link bug

{{hide in print|1=====hides edit link bug1==== If you can edit the section "hides edit link bug1" then one hide link bug has been resolved. Otherwise, the bug is still present.}}

The above boxed example produces the below unboxed result

{{hide in print|1=text to be hidden that includes a section header ====hides edit link bug2==== If you can edit the section "hides edit link bug2" then a second possible hide link bug has been resolved. Otherwise, the bug is still present.}}

The above boxed example produces the below unboxed result

hides edit link bug2

If you can edit the section "hides edit link bug2" then a second possible hide link bug has been resolved. Otherwise, the bug is still present.
