== Usage ==

* This cleanup template can be used to tag pages that use [[HTML element|HTML markup]] that can be replaced with [[wiki markup]]. This includes bold tags (<nowiki><b></b></nowiki>), italics (<nowiki><i></i></nowiki>), paragraph (<nowiki><p></p></nowiki>), break lines in most cases, tables, etc.

* For a list of which tags are unwanted and instructions on how to perform cleanup, see [[:Category:Articles with HTML markup]].

*Examples of how to convert HTML tables to wikimarkup can be found [[Help:Table#Comparison_of_table_syntax]].

* Additionally, headers should follow [[MOS:HEAD]] instead of <nowiki><h2></h2></nowiki>

*It shouldn't be used for all html tags: e.g., <code><nowiki>H₂O</nowiki></code>. See [[Help:Wikitext]] for a useful list of common wikitext and non-deprecated HTML tags.

* <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup HTML}}</nowiki></code> puts articles into [[:Category:Articles with HTML markup]] and [[:Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify]]

* If a date parameter is provided such as <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Cleanup HTML|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> then the page is put into a by-month category instead. If the date is left out, a [[Wikipedia:Bot|bot]] will add it later.

* This template is a [[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid|self reference]].
