{{TDoc/i/Detail}} creates a text box intended for unessential explanations that can be skipped without prejudice by the reader. It is intended for use in template documentation.

This template is part of the {{TDoc}} collection of helper templates.

Purpose

[edit]

Intended for text that provides additional but unessential information, {{TDoc/i/Detail}} produces a text box, shifted to the right, lined on its left side with a thick blue border, and containing text with reduced font size.

For example:

Ecce autem Inachiis sese referebat ab Argis saeua Iouis coniunx aurasque inuecta tenebat, et laetum Aenean classemque ex aethere longe Dardaniam Siculo prospexit ab usque Pachyno. moliri iam tecta uidet, iam fidere terrae, deseruisse rates: stetit acri fixa dolore.
Sometimes, one might want to clarify a point or provide some background about the topic at hand. That type of information will be of interest to the more curious reader, but it may be skipped without impairing overall comprehension of the topic. One could obviously use a footnote in such situations, but their disjointed placement makes those even more discouraging to read. Inline notes are more accessible to the curious reader, yet provide a strong visual clue that they are not essential and, provided that they are not too long, do not disturb the layout very much.
Sic memorat; simul Aenean in regia ducit tecta, simul divom templis indicit honorem. Nec minus interea sociis ad litora mittit viginti tauros, magnorum horrentia centum terga suum, pinguis centum cum matribus agnos, munera laetitiamque dii.
