Usage

The template {{defn}} is used in structured glossaries to create definitions of definition list terms.

Basic usage:

{{defn|1=Definition.}}

Links, inline templates, reference citations, wikimarkup styles, etc., can be applied to the definition. If the editor is certain that the definition will never contain the character "=" (equals sign), then the "1=" can be omitted:

{{defn|Definition.}}

For longer definitions that others are likely to edit, the "|1=" numbered parameter version is the safer bet.

Apply CSS styles to the definition

The |style= parameter will pass CSS styling on to the <dd> element.

Example

This shows both a very simple and a rather complex instance:

==A–M== {{gloss}} {{term|applesnorkel}} {{defn|1=Definition of term 1.}} {{term|''arglefarst''|arglefarst|lang=xx}} {{defn|1= 1. Beginning of first definition of term 2 <blockquote>Block quotation in first definition of term 2.</blockquote> Conclusion of first definition of term 2. }} {{defn|1=2. Second definition of term 2.}} {{glossend}}

A–M applesnorkel Definition of term 1. arglefarst 1. Beginning of first definition of term 2 Block quotation in first definition of term 2. Conclusion of first definition of term 2. 2. Second definition of term 2.
