It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a template name would be used in code.
Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:
{{Tlp|name|parameters}}= {{name|parameters}}
Features of {{Tlp}}:
- It shows a template name with a link to that template.
- It shows up to eight parameters.
- It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
- It prevents line wraps in its output.
- It uses normal text style. (While for instance {{Tlx}} uses teletype text style.)
This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the see also section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. Then on the first occurrence of a template name use {{Tl}}, {{Tlp}} or {{Tlx}}, and then use {{Tlf}}, Template:Tld or {{Tlc}}.
Examples
| Code | Result | Comment |
|---|---|---|
{{tlp}} | {{tlp|...}} | Shows its own syntax. |
{{tlp|name}} | {{name}} | |
{{tlp|name|one}} | {{name|one}} | |
{{tlp|name|one|two}} | {{name|one|two}} | |
{{tlp|name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j}} | {{name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h}} | Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped. |
{{tlp|name|||three|four}} | {{name|||three|four}} | Also shows empty parameters. |
{{tlp|name|||three||}} | {{name|||three||}} | Even shows empty parameters that come in the end. |
{{tlp|name|one=a|two=b}} | {{name}} | Equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix. |
{{tlp|name|2=one=a|3=two=b}} | {{name|one=a|two=b}} | Use numbered parameters to fix it. Remember to start from 2, since the "name" is number 1. |
If you have equal signs in your template parameters then some find it simpler to code it using <nowiki> tags, or the = or = character references. Here's how to do that. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:
