 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bracket. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
This template provides a way to wrap wiki markup in (single) square brackets. More importantly, it helps to keep the markup free of line noise and thus easier to edit.
Usage
{{bracket|[[Wikipedia:Example]]}}→ [Wikipedia:Example]{{bracket}}→ [
Function
This template is a simple wrapper around the [ and ] HTML entities that produce starting and ending brackets, respectively.
The template cannot output just an ending bracket. You will have to use ] to produce the "]" ending bracket.
This template is not necessary in Citation Style 1 templates. You can simply use square brackets, and they will be treated as ordinary text (and not wiki markup) when it constructs links.
