Usage
Simply uses CSS to force a serif font on the surrounded content:
{{serif|IV}}
gives:
IV
This is useful when certain letters are always given in a serif font when used as a symbol for something, to distinguish better between lower-case l and Roman numeral I, etc.
Optional parameters
Advanced HTML values can be passed through the template to the HTML code:
|class=takes a class name (or multiple class names, separated by spaces); addsclass="classname[s]"to the HTML code|style=takes inline CSS input; addesstyle="CSS directive[s]"to the HTML code|id=takes a valid, unique HTML id (must begin with an alphabetic letter); addsid="name"to the HTML code|title=takes text, which cannot be marked up in any way, and displays it as a pop-up "tooltip" when the cursor hovers over the{{serif}}span
