Template:Tld

{{Tld}}

Template documentation

{{tld}} is designed to display examples of how to use templates. It works similar to {{tlc}}, it shows the template's name and its parameters as code, but it uses {{tlg}} as a metatemplate, making it a little bit more versatile.

Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. The template is very good to use when you want to give examples of how to use a template.

Parameters

There are 14 optional parameters, 12 of which are unnamed.

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

Synatx

The syntax for {{tld}} is:

• {{tld|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

{{tld|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

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

subst

Substitution

Includes a subst: prefix before the template link/name.

allowlinebreak

Toggle line-breaking

Entering this parameter will make the output line-wrap.
