Template:Template link expanded/doc

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use
(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)


 * produces:

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use, like so:
 * produces: {{tlx{|Template|firstfirst value|second|third{{=}}third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in &lt;nowiki&gt; tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:
 * produces:

Purpose and naming
Mnemonically, template link expanded (after template link).

This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.

Up to 20 of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 20 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical bar (pipe) symbol, as in. A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &amp;#61; or = or in nowiki-text: " or all parameters as a string in &lt;nowiki&gt; tags. If you use 21 or more parameters, all after the 20th will be replaced with a single   at the end of the parameter list.

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt;. For example:
 * Exceptions

If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with &lt;pre&gt;

Parameters

 * If the only parameter supplied is the template's name, 's output is the same as – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
 * produces: tl
 * produces:
 * will also not take nor display additional parameters.

|subst=
 * Named parameters
 * Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string  linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example,  produces:.

|SISTER=
 * For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as:  (Meta), facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation
Tlx is a generalization of x with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as "{", "&#124;", "}'" and links can be hard to read when not monospaced.

Usage


There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.
