Editing Template:Cite web/doc (section)

===Using "format="===
When this template detects a link whose URL includes an [[filename extension|extension]] of ".pdf" or ".PDF", typical of [[PDF]] files, it automatically displays a PDF icon after the link (regardless of whether the link goes to a PDF file or to an HTML landing page, typical of paysites). It also internally acts as if {{para|format|PDF}} had been specified, which displays " (PDF)" after the icon. (In this case, an explicit {{para|format|PDF}} parameter would be redundant, so it ''is not'' recommended to add it. Users may remove it. Citation bot, when invoked, will remove it. ([[User talk:Citation bot/Archive 13#Remove format=pdf and variants when URLs end in .pdf|ref]]))

If the link is to a PDF file that ''is not'' automatically recognizable by its extension, this template does not display the PDF icon. You may add the parameter {{para|format|PDF}}, which displays " (PDF)" after the link.
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
{{markup2|
|m=<nowiki>{{cite web
|url=https://www.sample.com/somePDFdocument.000
|title=Some PDF Document
|publisher=Sample Int'l
|format=PDF
|access-date=</nowiki>{{date}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
|r={{cite web
|url=https://www.sample.com/somePDFdocument.000
|title=Some PDF Document
|publisher=Sample Int'l
|format=PDF
|access-date={{date}}}}
}}
</div>

For links to files in other formats, no icon is displayed. For example, for an [[.odt]] file, you may add the parameter {{para|format|ODT}}, which displays " (ODT)" after the link.
<div style="width:auto; overflow:scroll">
{{markup2|
|m=<nowiki>{{cite web
|url=https://www.sample.com/someODTdocument.odt
|title=Some ODT Document
