Template:Tlx

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template creates example usage syntax for a template, and links the name to the template page. The name is derived from "Template list expanded".

Up to 7 pass parameters (numbered) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and more parameters are shown as "|...". An optional SISTER parameter can specify an interwiki prefix to link to another wiki. Examples:

Code	Result	Remark
{{Tlx|x0}}	{{x0}}
{{Tlx|x1|one}}	{{x1|one}}
{{Tlx|x2|one|two}}	{{x2|one|two}}
{{Tlx|x3|1|2|3}}	{{x3|1|2|3}}
{{Tlx|x4|1|2|3|4}}	{{x4|1|2|3|4}}	up to 7 parameters, then ...
{{Tlx|x4|1|2|3|4}}	{{x4|1|2|3|4}}	| for more
{{Tlx|x1|x=u}}	{{x1}}	= won't work
{{Tlx|x1|x=u}}	{{x1|x=u}}	= is okay
{{Tlx|x1|<nowiki>x=u</nowiki>}}	{{x1|x=u}}	sticky nowiki is okay
{{Tlx|x2| |two}}	{{x2|two}}	empty won't work
{{Tlx|x2|&#32;|two}}	{{x2| |two}}	&#32; is okay
{{Tlx|x2|&nbsp;|two}}	{{x2| |two}}	&nbsp; is okay
{{Tlx|x2| &#124; two}}	{{x2| | two}}	&#124; is okay
{{Tlx|x2| {{!}} two}}	{{x2| | two}}	{{!}} is dubious
{{Tlx|x2|2=|3=two}}	{{x2|two}}	empty really doesn't work
{{Tlx|x2|3=two|2=one}}	{{x2|one|two}}	right to left okay
