SHOWFOR - {for}

ShowFor{for}, doesn't get any special styling. It's useful for specifying that content only applies to certain operating systems or Thunderbird versions. See the Firefox documentation on ShowFor, for details. Thunderbird Showfor (known simply as "for") is identical to Firefox "for" except of course there is no mobile Thunderbird and there is no Maemo and Android Thunderbird, just Thunderbird for Mac, Windows and Linux. And instead of using "fx" for Firefox you use "tb" for Thunderbird

Here is the syntax to show something for Thunderbird 5 and above:

{for tb5}Hellooo TB5 and ABOVE!{/for}

Here is the syntax to show something for only Thunderbird 5 and not any other version of Thunderbird:

{for =tb5}Hellooo ONLY TB5!{/for}

"not" operator

The "not" operator displays the system or program sensitive information for anything except the specified. The following is an example.

Press the ControlApple key.

Templates

Templates are a way of reusing small pieces of content. Instead of writing a message twice, you can create and update it in one place, and then refer to it in other pages. The other pages will stay up-to-date with changes to the Template automatically!

See How to use Templates for instructions on creating templates. When you create a template, be sure to add it to the list below.

To insert the contents of a template into a page, use the following syntax:

Template:Some Template or T:Some Template

Surround the text with two square brackets.

Available templates include:

  • Shortcuts for common menu access like:
    • Template:optionspreferences (the location of the Options or Preferences menu, based on the selected operating system.) This yields:
      In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and then select Preferences or Settings, depending on your macOS version.Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
    • Template:accountsettings (the location of the Account Settings... dialog.) This yields:
      ToolsEdit > Account Settings
    • Template:version (the location of the Thunderbird version and build dialog). This yields:
      Help > AboutHelp > About ThunderbirdThunderbird > About Thunderbird

Front page

Once you have localized the template, there are two more pages that need translation in order to fully localize the front page:

These pages list all the templates defined in the previous chapter.
