మూస:Tlxc
Note: This documentation for {{tlx}} is also transcluded by its derivatives {{tlxb}}, {{tlxc}}, {{tlxw}}, {{tlxU}} (edit · master page).
Basic use
[మార్చు](Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)
{{tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|…|tenth}}produces:{{Template|first parameter|second parameter|third|…|tenth}}
Where parameters might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with {{=}}:
{{tlx|Template|first{{=}}something|second|third{{=}}something|...|tenth}}produces:{{Template|first=something|second|third=something|...|tenth}}
For more than ten parameters, possibly also containing equals-signs, use <nowiki>...</nowiki> thus:
Purpose and naming
[మార్చు]Mnemonically, "[t]emplate [l]ink e[x]panded" (after {{tl}}, "[t]emplate [l]ink").
This template allows an example of calling a template, accompanied by one or more parameters, to be displayed without also causing the template to be called.
Up to ten of the template's parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) may be displayed as placeholders, while more than over 10 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "|…"). A keyword parameter can be used with equals code = or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page.
- Exceptions
If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>. For example:
<code>.<nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>
If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.
Parameters
[మార్చు]- If the only parameter supplied is
{{{1}}}, i.e. a template's name, {{tlx}}'s output is the same as {{tl}} – i.e. a link within braces – but in a monospaced font:
- {{tl}} will also not take nor display additional parameters.
- Named parameters
|subst=
- Setting this parameter to any non-blank value will prefix the string
subst:linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example,{{tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}}produces:{{subst:Welcome}}. This is similar to the action of the{{tlxs}}template:{{tlxs|Welcome}}produces:{{subst:Welcome}}.
|SISTER=
- For an interwiki link to other sister projects, such as:
|SISTER=M:(Meta),|SISTER=Q:(WikiQuote),|SISTER=S:(WikiSource), etc, facilitating interwiki template documentation and/or discussion.
|LANG=
- For a link to Wikipedias in other languages, such as:
|LANG=de:(German),|LANG=sv:(Swedish), etc, facilitating cross-language template documentation and/or discussion.
Documentation
[మార్చు]{{Tlx}} is a generalization of {{tl}}, {{tlp}} etc, with output that is arguably more legible. This depends on the browser, but narrow gaps between characters such as " { ", " | ", " } " and links can be hard to read when not monospaced (and hard to click on; for uses like {{!}}, see {{tlw}}, which makes the click target bigger).
Usage
[మార్చు]{{tlx|Templatename}}{{tlx|Templatename|param}}{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}{{tlx|Templatename|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|more}}{{tlx|Templatename|param=value}}
There are up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template.
Examples
[మార్చు]- Note
- At the en.wikipedia and Meta sites, X0, X1, X2, ... X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other sister projects.
