Template:Template Link Expanded With Subst

{{subst:Template:Template link expanded with subst}}

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

This template is used on approximately 4,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Shortcut

{{tlxs}}

This template uses Lua:

Module:Template link general (sandbox)

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlxs}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options. If a row renders identically to a previous row, it means the current template does not support that option and {{tlg}} needs to be used instead.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
	Default (without accessory parameters)	`{{subst:example}}`
brace	Include braces as part of the template link	`{{subst:example}}`	{{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link	`{{subst:example}}`
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	`{{subst:example}}`	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML `<code>...</code>` tags (monospaced font)	`{{subst:example}}`	{{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic	Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics	`{{subst:example\|param}}`	{{tlxi}}
kbd	Display output using HTML `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (monospaced font)	`{{subst:example}}`
nolink	Don't render the template name as a link	`{{example}}`	{{tlf}}, {{tnull}}
nowrap	Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output	`{{subst:example}}`
nowrapname	Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed)	`{{subst:example}}`
plaincode	Uses `<code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code>`	`{{subst:example}}`	{{tltss}}
subst	Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name	`{{subst:example}}`	{{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
alttext=`[text]`	Replace `[text]` with the actual label to be displayed for the template link	`{{subst:Other}}`	{{tla}}
_show_result	Will also display the result of the template	`{{subst:Min\|7\|-5}}` → -5
_expand	Will add a link to the expanded template page	`{{subst:Min\|7\|-5}}` [1]

Unnamed (Positional)

This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

^ {{tlg}} is the most general template, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options.
^ Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside <span class="nowrap">...</span> tags.
^ Allows links to templates in any namespace.
^ {{tlg|plaincode=yes}} uses <code style="border:none; background-color:transparent;">...</code>.
^ Displays monospaced font using <span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>.

Semantic markup templates

Template	Example output	Use
{{strong}}	Important!	To indicate <strong> importance, seriousness, or urgency instead of just simple typographical boldfacing
{{strongbad}}	"Never use ..."	Same as {{strong}} but in red
{{stronggood}}	"Only use ..."	Same as {{strong}} but in green
{{em}}	"An emphatic phrase"	To indicate <em> stress emphasis (not just purely typographical italicization like for book titles or foreign terms)
{{var}}	`strPrefix`	To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
{{var serif}}	`strIllustratePrefix`	(see {{var}} above)
{{tld}}	`{{DEFAULTSORT:Y, X}}`	To display wikicode variables and magic words as they would appear in code
{{para}}	`\|year=2008`	To display template parameters with or without values
{{param}}	`{{{title\|alt}}}`	To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above
{{tjp}}	\|selfref=yes	To display template parameters with colors (as they would appear in the {{tj}} and {{tji}} templates)
{{param value}}	`··2·blanks·fore·and·aft··`	To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
{{tlx}} etc.	`{{Template\|1\|2\|...\|10}}`	To display a template call (with or without parameters and values) as code
{{tji}}	{{hatnote\|Hello\|selfref=yes\|category=no}}	To showcase with colors in horizontal format the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
{{tag}}	"The `<img>...</img>` tags ..."	To render HTML elements ("tags") in prose
{{code}}/{{codett}}	"Ensure the `alt=` parameter ..."	To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use `<code>...</code>`. {{codett}} differs only in styling: `someMethod` becomes `someMethod`
{{PreCode}}	"FORTH has keyword `?BRANCH`."	Like {{code}}, but prevents line breaks inside the code. Only for very short code parts.
{{subst:codenowiki}}	`{{small\|small text example}}`	To wrap example code in `<code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>`
{{subst:kbdnowiki}}	`{{large\|large text example}}`	To wrap example code in `<kbd><nowiki>...</nowiki></kbd>`
{{syntaxhighlight}}	_{[this is a block template]}	( or `{{sxhl}}` ) Wrapper for `<syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>`, but will wrap overflowing text
{{deprecated code}}	"Do not use `<blink>`."	( or `{{dc}}` ) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The `{{dc2}}` variant uses strike-through (`<blink>`) while `{{dcr}}` uses red (`<blink>`).
{{pre}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For larger blocks of source code and other pre-formatted text
{{tj}}	_{[this is a block template]}	To showcase with colors and multiple lines (vertical format) the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
{{quote}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For block quotations (only – never for non-quotations)
{{block indent}}	_{[this is a block template]}	For indented blocks of material; visually identical to `{{quote}}` but without quote markup
{{kbd}}	`user input`	To indicate user input
{{key press}}	`Ctrl`+`x`	To indicate specific-keystroke input, including combinations
{{key top}}	`Left shift`	Similar; includes more symbols, but does not directly support combinations
{{button}}	`Don't save`	To indicate a button in a user interface
{{samp}}	`example output`	To indicate sample or example output
