Shortcut

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlg}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

Parameter Action Use with

brace Include braces as part of the template link {{example}} {{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside Include innermost braces as part of the template link {{example}}
bold Renders the template link/name in bold {{example}} {{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code Display output using HTML <code>...</code> tags (monospaced font) {{example}} {{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics {{example|param}} {{tlxi}}
kbd Display output using HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags (monospaced font) {{example}}
nolink Don't render the template name as a link {{example}} {{tlf}}, {{tnull}}
nowrap Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output {{example}}
nowrapname Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed) {{example}}

subst Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name {{subst:example}} {{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc

_show_result Will also display the result of the template {{Min|7|-5}} → -5
_expand Will add a link to the expanded template page {{Min|7|-5}} [1]

Unnamed (Positional)

This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

Examples

Note
On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, 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.
