View source for Spacer parameter type

{{Ambox|type=notice|text=[[Parameter|Parameters]] have been superseded by [[Form field|form fields]] in Joomla! 1.6. You may want to use the corresponding [[Spacer form field type]].}}

The '''spacer''' parameter type provides a visual separator between parameter field elements.  It is purely a visual aid and no parameter value is stored.

* '''type''' (mandatory) must be ''spacer''.
* '''default''' (optional) (translatable) is a string which will be used instead of the ''<nowiki><hr /></nowiki>'' that is inserted by default.

Example XML parameter definition:
<source lang="xml"><param type="spacer" /></source>

You can replace the basic horizontal line with a title which can be used to group parameters.  For example,
<source lang="xml"><param type="spacer" default="Advanced parameters" /></source>

Note that you can also include HTML markup but it must be encoded.  For example, to put the text into bold you can use:
<source lang="xml"><param type="spacer" default="&lt;b&gt;Advanced parameters&lt;/b&gt;" /></source>
