ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Listen
{Listen} 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
{Listen
| filename =
| title =
| description =
| pos =
}
- filename (Required): the pagename of the media file, without the
File:(formerlyImage:) 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 sounds being heard
- pos: right (default), left, or center
Multiple files
Additional files can be embedded in an article with one template by appending a number to each parameter.
{Listen
| filename =
| title =
| alt =
| description =
| filename2 =
| title2 =
| alt2 =
| description2 =
| filename3 =
| title3 =
| alt3 =
| description3 =
}
- 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
.ogvformat 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 sounds being heard
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
|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 or center will float the box on the left-hand side, or center it, respectively.
- image: define a different image. E.g.
|image=[[File:Example.jpg|50px]]. You can set|image=noneto 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(n): some media files cannot be displayed inline; if this is the case set
|play=noto prevent the broken inline link from displaying. - plain: if set
|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|style=(e.g.,|style=float:right) parameter and surrounding markup. - embed: use
|embed=yesto remove border and padding when using as a module embedded in another infobox (see examples below). - start(n): Timestamp at which the file should start playing
- length(n): setting
|length(n)=hidehides the duration (h:m:s).

Microformat
- Subtemplates
Date-of-publication ("published") information will only be included in the microformat if {start date} (or, where appropriate, {start date and age}) is used in a parent infobox/template. Do not, however, use {start date} or {start date and age} if a date before 1583 CE is involved.
Use {duration} to specify the duration/length of a recording. For instance, if the recording's duration is 3 minutes 45 seconds, use {duration|m=3|s=45} (which appears as: 3:45). If needed, |h= may be included to specify a number of hours.
Please do not remove instances of these subtemplates.

- haudio

- album
- description

nor collapse nested elements which use them.
