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>
"big" content
</WRAP>

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

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

A lowercase <wrap> (or alternatively <inline> or <span>) creates a span and should be used for “small” containers, inside 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>

Please note, some things won't work with lowercase spans:

• alignments (including alignments generated by changing the text direction)
• multi-columns
• and widths

if the according wrap isn't floated as well.

A shorthand of uppercase <WRAP /> and lowercase <wrap /> are available if the container is empty or unnecessary.

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

and

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

You can have columns easily by adding the class column and a width, e.g.

<WRAP column 30%>...content...</WRAP>

The example below uses the following structure:

<WRAP group>

<WRAP third column>...content...</WRAP>
<WRAP third column>...content...</WRAP>
<WRAP third column>...content...</WRAP>

</WRAP>

You can use the same options with spans (as each element that floats is automatically a block level element), but it probably doesn't make too much sense. Widths on spans normally do not work (by design), but can make sense, when it is floating.

Attention: What is the difference between widths and width keywords and when is it best to use which? Widths can cause problems and will never fully add up, therefore will break the layout under some circumstances. (See box model for a technical explanation.) So, getting widths right will need some fiddling around and testing in various browsers. Width keywords on the other hand fit automatically and work better on mobile devices. But the drawback is that they need an extra wrap around them and don't work properly in older browsers (IE8 and under).

All of those options will also work in the boxes and notes wraps (see below).

When the emulatedHeadlines config option is enabled, every //**__text like this__**// or //**like that**// will create an “emulated headline” within a wrap. This feature is deprecated and will be removed at some point as standard headlines within wraps are supported for a while now.

If that config options is enabled and you need text that is bold and italic, simply use it the other way around: **//No Headline//**.

Don't use this for bigger columns containing more than just text. Use the columns and floats mentioned above instead.

You can use these different text alignments:

• leftalign
• rightalign
• centeralign
• justify

<WRAP centeralign>
Center aligned text ...
</WRAP>

<WRAP rightalign>
... and right aligned.
</WRAP>

You cannot add alignments to spans.

Safety Notes:

Best only use simple markup in safety notes.

You can use notes and boxes also inside text with spans like this: info, help, alert, important, tip, download, todo and round box and danger, warning, caution, notice, safety.

<wrap info>info</wrap>, <wrap help>help</wrap>, ...

You can mark text as highlighted, less significant and especially emphasised.

You can mark text as <wrap hi>highlighted</wrap>, <wrap lo>less significant</wrap> and <wrap em>especially emphasised</wrap>.

This might look ugly in some templates and should be adjusted accordingly.

You can create a row of tabs by simply wrapping a list of links in <WRAP tabs></WRAP>.

<WRAP tabs>
  * [[Some page]]
  * [[example|This page]]
  * [[Another page]]
</WRAP>

Please note, the styling of these tabs depend on the template you are using and not on the wrap plugin. If you only see a list of links and no tabs, please make sure to add “tabs” to the noPrefix config option and that your template supports at least the 2012-01-25 “Angua” DokuWiki release.

After using any of the float classes, you might come across following text protruding into the space where only the floating containers should be. To prevent that, you should simply add this after your last column:

<WRAP clear />

You can set the width of a table via tablewidth as every table inside that wrap will always be 100% wide. This makes it possible to give tables any width by adding an additional width to the wrap (or none for 100%).

<WRAP tablewidth 80%>
^ Table ^ is ^
| 80% | wide |
</WRAP>

This text will appear indented.

<wrap indent>This text will appear indented.</wrap>

This text will appear “outdented”.

<wrap outdent>This text will appear "outdented".</wrap>

Inside this code block the words will wrap to a new line although they are all in one line.

<WRAP prewrap 250px>
<code>
Inside this code block the words will wrap to a new line although they are all in one line.
</code>
</WRAP>

Here follows a spoiler: Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Here follows a spoiler: <wrap spoiler>Darth Vader is Luke's father.</wrap>

Just select the text in the spoiler box to be able to read its content.

A link that looks like a button: Syntax

A link that looks like a button: <wrap button>[[wiki:Syntax]]</wrap>

The following text is hidden: John, please revise that sentence.

The following text is hidden: <wrap hide>John, please revise that sentence.</wrap>

Warning: The text will still appear in the source code, in non-modern browsers and is searchable. Do not hide any security risky secrets with it!

The following will add a pagebreak:

The following will add a pagebreak: <WRAP pagebreak />

This has no effect on the browser screen. A pagebreak will force a new page in printouts.

The following will try to avoid a pagebreak:

The following will try to avoid a pagebreak: <WRAP nopagebreak>much content, belonging together (like a long table)</WRAP>

This also has no effect on the browser screen. It will try to avoid a page break in printouts.

This text appears on the screen, but not in print.

<wrap noprint>This text appears on the screen, but not in print.</wrap>

This text does not appear on the screen, but only in print.

<wrap onlyprint>This text does not appear on the screen, but only in print.</wrap>

You can combine and nest all classes and types of boxes, e.g.

<WRAP box 350px right :en>
=== Outer box floats right ===

<WRAP 165px left>
Inner nested box floats left and is partly <wrap em hi>__em__phasized and __hi__ghlighted with a nested <wrap notice>__notice__</wrap> inside</wrap>.
</WRAP>

Text inside outer right box, but beneath inner left box.

<WRAP clear />

<WRAP round tip>
Round tip box underneath, after a ''clear''.
</WRAP>

</WRAP>

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

<WRAP :he>
זה עברית. ((<wrap :en>This means "This is Hebrew.", at least according to [[http://translate.google.com/|Google Translate]].</wrap>))
</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 specify a language not listed there, it simply won't do anything.)
