Created page with "<noinclude>This template simplifies the addition of clickable email addresses to a page. It takes either one to three parameters, as follows: * The first parameter is the lo..."

New page

<noinclude>This template simplifies the addition of clickable email addresses to a page. It takes either one to three parameters, as follows:

* The first parameter is the local part of the email address. It's the only required parameter. If no other parameters are supplied, it assumes the domain is "cs.jhu.edu". e.g. <code><nowiki>{{mailto|support}}</nowiki></code> → {{mailto|support}}
* The second parameter gives alternate text to display instead of the email address. e.g. <code><nowiki>{{mailto|steve|Steve DeBlasio}}</nowiki></code> → {{mailto|steve|Steve DeBlasio}}
* The third parameter gives an alternate domain. e.g. <code><nowiki>{{mailto|pgold3|Phil Gold|jhu.edu}}</nowiki></code> → {{mailto|pgold3|Phil Gold|jhu.edu}}
** If you want to change the domain without providing alternate link text, use the third parameter's name, "domain". e.g. <code><nowiki>{{mailto|pgold3|domain=jhu.edu}}</nowiki></code> → {{mailto|pgold3|domain=jhu.edu}}
</noinclude><includeonly>[mailto:{{{1}}}@{{{3|{{{domain|cs.jhu.edu}}}}}} {{{2|{{{1}}}@{{{3|{{{domain|cs.jhu.edu}}}}}}}}}]</includeonly>
