Template:Tlf
This template, often abbreviated as {{tlf}}, 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) {{example}}
brace Include braces as part of the template link example {{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside Include innermost braces as part of the template link example
bold Renders the template link/name in bold {{example}} {{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code Display output using HTML <code>...</code> tags (monospaced font) {{example}} {{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics {{example|param}} {{tlxi}}
kbd Display output using HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags (monospaced font) {{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 {{example}} {{tlp}}
nowrapname Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed) {{example}}
plaincode Uses <code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code> {{example}} {{tltss}}
subst Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name {{example}} {{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
alttext=[text] Replace [text] with the actual label to be displayed for the template link {{example}} {{tla}}
_show_result Will also display the result of the template {{Min|7|-5}} → -5
_expand Will add a link to the expanded template page {{Min|7|-5}} [1]
a will add an asterisk before the template code * {{Min|7|-5}}

Unnamed (Positional)

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

Examples

Use the displayed value in the code column, not the underlying source code.
