Template:If dark/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:If dark.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:If dark/styles.css

This template detects whether it is being used with dark mode, and displays different content accordingly. This should however NOT be relied upon. For instance: It may not work with the dark mode gadget. You can use the background-image property with a URL inside TemplateStyles with different versions for dark mode and light mode instead.

Rationale

Some images and text need to be different depending on the mode selected by the user. This template provides an easy way to do that.

Usage

{{If dark|content for dark mode|content for light mode}}

By default, <span>...</span> tags are used to wrap the specified content. A different tag may be specified using |tag=

E.g. |tag=div can be used if the content contains block-level elements.

Example

Normal usage

{{If dark|You are using dark mode!|You are using light mode!}} yields:

Light mode	Dark mode
You are using light mode!You are using dark mode!	You are using light mode!You are using dark mode!
