Template:Tlx/doc

Template:High-riskThis 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.): {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|…|tenth}} produces: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|…|tenth}}Where parameters might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with Template:Tlf:: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlx|Template|first{{=}}something|second|third{{=}}something|...|tenth}} produces: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|Template|firstTemplate:=something|second|thirdTemplate:=something|...|tenth}}For more than ten parameters, possibly also containing equals-signs, use Template:Tag thus:: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=something''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|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 "Template:Small…"). A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "Template:Tag" or all parameters as a string in "Template:Tag" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page.; ExceptionsIf the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with Template:TagTemplate:Tag. For example:: Template:Tag.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 Template:Tag.===Parameters===* If the only parameter supplied is Template:Param, i.e. a template's name, Template:Tlf's output is the same as {{tl}} – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:** Template:Tc produces: {{tl}}** Template:Tc produces: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tl}}: Template:Tlf will also not take nor display additional parameters.; Named parametersTemplate:Para: 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, {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlx|Welcome|3=subst=Y}} produces: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|Welcome|subst=Y}}. This is similar to the action of the {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlxs}} template: {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlxs|Welcome}} produces: Template:Tlxs.Template:Para: For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as: Template:Para (Meta), Template:Para (WikiQuote), Template:Para (WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.Template:Para: For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as: Template:Para (German), Template:Para (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 "Template:Thinsp", "Template:Thinsp", "Template:Thinsp" 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.Template:Aligned table; Unlimited parameters as one Template:Tag string : {{tlxTemplate:\sandbox|tlx|convert|<nowiki>14|m|ftin|abbr=out|sp=us</nowiki>}}== See also ==* {{tlxb}}, a version of Template:Tlf where the template name is shown in bold.*: {{tlb}}, a version of Template:Tlf where the template name is shown in bold.* {{temt}}, a version of Template:Tlf that handles templates whose names include "Template:" and pages outside the Template: namespace that are treated as templates.* {{para}}, for the presentation of template parameters and values (e.g. Template:Para, Template:Para, etc).== Template-linking templates ==Template:Template-linking templates
