Template:Tlp

{{tlp|...}}

Template documentation

Usage

{{tlp}} (template link with parameters) is meant to be used in documentation and talk page discussions, to show how a template would be used in code. Like {{tl}} and {{tn}}, it displays the output in normal text.

Parameters

There are 12 optional parameters, all unnamed. If no parameters are specified, {{tlp}} will become a presentation of itself with the parameters replaced by an ellipsis (see the examples below).

The parameters of {{tlp}} can be formatted using wiki-code.

Synatx

The syntax for {{tlp}} is:

• {{tlp|template name |param2 |param3 |param4 |…|param11 }}

Optional parameters

1 (unnamed)

Template name

The 1st parameter is the name of the template you want to present.

Usage

{{tlp|template name}}

2–12 (unnamed)

Template parameters

The parameters 2 through 12 are used for the parameters of the displayed template.

Notes

• The specified parameters cannot include any equals signs (=). That will break the template. If you need to do that, use the template {{=}}.
• If the maximum of 11 included parameters is exceeded, the template will only show the 11 first parameters, and exclude the surplus ones.

Usage

{{tlp|1|param1|param2|param3|param4|param5|…|param11}}

Examples

Correct use

Case	What you type	What you see	Notes
No parameter	{{tlp}}	...}}	Presents itself
Only 1st parameter	templatename}}	{{templatename}}
Template name + parameters	templatename|par1|par2|par3}}	{{templatename|par1|par2|par3}}
Wiki-formatting	templatename|''par1''|'''''par2'''''|[[par3]]}}	{{templatename|par1|par2|par3}}
Parameters with {{=}}	templatename|par1{{=}}|par2|par3{{=}}}}	{{templatename|par1=|par2|par3=}}

Incorrect use

Case	What you type	What you see	Notes
≥ 13 entries	{{tlp|templatename|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14}}	{{templatename|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12}}	Only the 12 first entries will be displayed (i.e. the template's name and the first 11 parameters)
Parameters with plain =	templatename|par1=|par2|par3=}}	{{templatename|par2}}	Parameters that include equals signs will be excluded from the output
Wiki-formatting of the template name	'''code'''|par1|par2}}	{{code|par1|par2}}	The output looks okay, but the wiki-markup is included in the template link name (i.e. in this case as "Template:'''code'''"), rendering a red-link
