Editing Template:Listen/doc

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Lua|Module:Listen}}

{{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}} allows audio and video files to be embedded in articles. It should be used for audio files that are set off from the text, such as music clips or sound recordings.

===Simple usage===
<pre style="overflow: auto">
{{Listen
| filename    =
| title       =
| description =
| pos         =
}}
</pre>
* '''filename''' ''(Required)'': the pagename of the media file, {{em|without}} the <code>File:</code> (formerly <code>Image:</code>) prefix
* '''title''' ''(Required)'': the title of the audio file, to be displayed. Do not use wikilinks in the title – they will not work.
* '''description''': a description of the audio file
* '''pos''' = left or right

====Multiple files====
Additional files can be embedded in an article with one template by appending a number to each parameter.

<pre style="overflow: auto">
{{Listen
| filename     =
| title        =
| alt          =
| description  =
| filename2    =
| title2       =
| alt2         =
| description2 =
| filename3    =
| title3       =
| alt3         =
| description3 =
}}
</pre>
* '''filename''' ''(Required)'': the pagename of the media file, ''without'' the File: (formerly Image:) prefix
* '''title''' ''(Required)'': the title of the audio file, to be displayed.
* '''alt''': alt text for the image displayed for the file, for visually impaired readers; see ''[[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images]]''. This is needed for file formats such as [[Ogg]]'s <code>.ogv</code> format that include video as well as sound. The alt text should describe just the initial static image, not the entire video or its sound.
* '''description''': a description of the audio file

===Style parameters===
The template also takes a number of style parameters to control its appearance:
* '''type''': can be used to alter the image displayed at the left depending on the type of audio content being embedded. Acceptable values are '''music''', '''speech''' and '''sound''' (default)
* '''header''': can be used to add a header to the box.
* '''help''': if set to {{para|help|no}}, suppresses the help text that normally appears at the bottom of the box. Only do this if there are other audio files on the page which ''do'' have the help link; it ''must'' be provided on ''at least'' the first file on the article.
* '''pos''': by default the box floats to the right side of the screen. Setting this to '''left''' will cause the box to instead float on the left-hand side.
* '''image''': define a different image. E.g. {{nowrap|{{para|image|<nowiki>[[File:Example.jps|50px]]</nowiki>}}}}. You can set {{para|image|none}} to disable the image entirely.
* '''style''': can be used to pass specific style instructions to the box. Setting this to '''float:none''' will anchor the box when this is convenient. Setting this to '''float:none; clear:none''' will enable the anchored box to co-exist gracefully beside another floating box.
* '''play''': some media files cannot be displayed inline; if this is the case set {{para|play|no}} to prevent the broken inline link from displaying.
* '''plain''': if set {{para|plain|yes}}, removes most of the ornamentation (table border, image, and help links) to give a minimalist version. This also removes the left/right float and positioning, to allow the box to be manually positioned as desired using the {{para|style}} (e.g., {{Para|style|float:right}}) parameter and surrounding markup.
* '''embed''': use {{para|embed|yes}} to remove border and padding when using as a module embedded in another infobox (see examples below).
* '''start''': Timestamp at which the file should start playing

===Microformat===
{{UF-audio}}

===Support for MIDI===
{{Listen|filename=Beethoven Op. 33 no. 1.mid|title=Bagatelle No. 1|description=from Beethoven's [[Bagatelles, Op. 33 (Beethoven)|''Bagatelles'', Op. 33]]}}
This template allows embedding a [[MIDI]] by rendering it into [[Ogg Vorbis]] using [[FluidSynth]] by way of the [[Help:Score|Score extension]].
