<!-- Categories and interwikis go at the bottom of this page. -->
== Usage ==
This template (easiest used from its {{tl|dc}} redirect) can be used to indicate, e.g. in template documentation or Wikipedia articles on things like HTML specifications, code that has been [[Deprecation|deprecated]] and should not normally be used. On the technical level it is a CSS-styled {{tag|del}} that greys out the text (the near-universal sign in computing and computing documentation for "doesn't work", "don't do this", "bad code", "ignore", "option not available", etc.), and removes that element's usual strikethrough (CSS: "line-through") rendering, which makes the content hard to read. If you really want that line-through, use the {{tl|dc2}} variant {{dc2|to do this}}; it is otherwise identical.
===Parameters===
*{{para|1}} the content to be marked as deprecated
*{{para|2}} or {{para|title}} a mouse-over "tooltip" (in some browsers, anyway), e.g. for briefly explaining the deprecation, e.g. "Deprecated since HTML 3.0" or "Breaks infobox formatting"
*{{para|red|y}} make the text red instead of grey, for indicating dangerous/error/forbidden things
*{{para|class}} assign a CSS class
*{{para|id}} assign an HTML ID for #linking and other purposes (must be unique on the page and start with an alphabetic letter)
*{{para|style}} add additional CSS styling (can be used to add <code>text-decoration:line-through;</code> back in if you want that formatting; a shortcut for this is {{tlx|dc2}})
===Examples===
*<nowiki>{{deprecated code|deprecated}}</nowiki> yields: {{deprecated code|deprecated}}
*<nowiki>{{dc2|deprecated}}</nowiki> yields: {{dc2|deprecated}}
