This template is a simplified usage of <samp>...</samp>, which is used mainly to format file names and the like.

Usage

Each anonymous parameter is a string to format. Note that <nowiki>...</nowiki> is needed around a parameter value if it contains the pipe (|) or equals (=) symbols, or they will be treated as a parameter separator or parameter identifier, respectively. Alternatively, you could also use {{!}} or {{=}} instead.

Use the |delimiter= parameter (aliases |delim= or |d=) to change the separator between each string. Set this value to the name in words of the delimiter, such as "and", "br", "or-list", "none", etc. When using a list delimiter, use |list-level= to change the indentation (defaults to **).

Examples

1. {{samps|text}} – text
2. {{samps|1|2|3|4|5}} – 1 2 3 4 5
3. {{samps|1|2|3|4|5|delimiter=,}} – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
4. {{samps|1|2|3|4|5|delimiter=and}} – 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
5. {{samps|<nowiki>something=one|two|three</nowiki>}} – something=one|two|three
6. {{samps|something{{=}}one{{!}}two{{!}}three}} – something=one|two|three
