Template:Tlx

ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp Note: This documentation for ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlx}} is also transcluded by its derivatives ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlxb}}, ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlxc}}, ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlxw}} (edit · master page).

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.)

ko:틀:Tlx

ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|...}} produces: ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{template|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|...}}

Where parameters might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with {{Template:=}}:

ko:틀:Tlx

ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlx|Template|first{{=}}something|second|third{{=}}something|...}} produces: ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{template|firstTemplate:=something|second|thirdTemplate:=something|...|...}}

For more than ten parameters, possibly also containing equals-signs, use <nowiki>...</nowiki> thus:

ko:틀:Tlx

ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=something''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{template|first|second|third=something|...|999th}}

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically, "[t]emplate [l]ink e[x]panded" (after {{tl}}, "[t]emplate [l]ink").

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 ten of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 10 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "&#124;..."). A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:

<code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>.

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 <pre>...</pre>.

Parameters

• If the only parameter supplied is {{{1}}}, i.e. a template's name, {{tlx}}'s output is the same as {{tl}} – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
  • {{tl|tl}} produces: {{tl}}
  • {{tlx|tl}} produces: ko:틀:Tlx

ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tl}}

{{tl}} will also not take nor display additional parameters.

Named parameters

|subst=

Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string subst: linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example, ko:틀:Tlx

ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}} produces: ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{welcome}}. This is similar to the action of the ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlxs}} template: ko:틀:Tlx ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlxs|Welcome}} produces: {{subst:welcome}}. |SISTER=

For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: |SISTER=M: (Meta), |SISTER=Q: (WikiQuote), |SISTER=S: (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.

|LANG=

For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: |LANG=de: (German), |LANG=sv: (Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.

Documentation

{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl}}, {{tlp}} etc., with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as " { ", " | ", " } " and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).

Usage

{{tlx|Templatename}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}

{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}

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

Examples

Note

At the en.wikipedia and Meta sites, X0, X1, X2, ... X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other sister projects.

Unlimited parameters as one <nowiki>...</nowiki> string

Template-linking templates

General-purpose formatting

• ¹ ko:틀:Tlx

ru:Шаблон:Tlp {{tlg}} is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options.

• ² Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside <span class="nowrap">...</span> tags.
• ³ Allows links to templates in any namespace.
• ⁴ {{tlg|plaincode[[:Template:=]]yes}} uses <code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code>.
• ⁵ Displays monospaced font using <kbd>...</kbd> tags (changed from <tt>...</tt> for HTML5 compliance).
• ⁶ Displays monospaced font using <span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>.
