Hello Ittar,

I tried to reproduce this in my testwiki (1.9), and i had no problem.

The Result looks as desired ... take a look: http://mwbeta.fokkograf.de/index.php/Spielwiese

Perhaps you have inserted an empty line (line break) in your template? Or you are not using MW 1.9 ?!?!

Regards, Jan

Hi,

I want a template that can be used as follows: {{TBD}}: some kind of message

the result of the above two will be: TBD: some kind of message

i want the 'TBD' to be highlighted as well

so this is my attempt: <span style="background: #ffff00">TBD</span>[[Category:TBD]]

the problem is, that when using it, i get this result:

TBD

some kind of message

apparently, the colon character is treated as if it is at the beginning of the line.

how can i fix this?

thanks, ittay
