This template is used to put text to the left of an indented comment (useful when indentation level is too large, then the amount of indentation can be shown).
Usage
{{Comment margin|<indent level>[|<content>]}}
- indent level is how much the comment is indented. Used for calculating the position of the floating content. If it is not a number, the length of the argument as a string will be used. Indents the comment automatically (colons aren't needed anymore).
- content is what to display. Defaults to the amount of indent.
Examples
Specify level of indentation
{{Outdent|8|after=+8}}
This stair of text is getting too long...
{{Reindent|8|after=-8}}
{{Comment margin|::::}}I have some questions...
┌────────────────────┘ +8
This stair of text is getting too long...
└────────────────────┐ -8
- I have some questions...::::
Custom text to the left
Hey, I think we should do this: ...
: Looks not so good to me. You should have thought of it better a bit.
:: What's the problem with that?
::: It may affect some readers. <!-- This is comment #4 -->
:::: How?
::::: Some important information might be hidden away, thus the reader won't know where it is.
:::::: OK, will fix that.
{{Comment margin|::::|''Reply to #4:''}}I don't think they will be affected much. Besides, we can always change the specifications.
