¹ {{tlg}} is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options. ² Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside `<span class="nowrap">...</span>` tags. ³ Allows links to templates in any namespace. ⁴ Royuwaay:Tld uses `<code style="border:none; background-color:transparent;">...</code>`. ⁵ Displays monospaced font using `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (changed from `<tt>...</tt>` for HTML 5 compliance). ⁶ Displays monospaced font using `<span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>`.
