This is the {{tlc}} template.

This template helps writing documentation which mentions {{templates}}, or even {{templates|that|has|parameters}}. It works similarly to {{Tl}} and {{tlx}}, but it doesn't make the template name into a link.

This page is also the documentation for some other templates:

• {{tld}} – Works the same, but looks like this: {{name|parameter}}
• {{tlf}} – Works the same, but looks like this: {{name|parameter}}

When writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. So on the first occurrence of a template name use {{Tl}} or {{tlx}}, and then use {{tlc}}, {{tld}} or {{tlf}}.

Features of {{tlc}}, {{tld}} and {{tlf}}:

• They show a template name and up to eight parameters.
• They understand empty parameters and show them. (See examples below.)
• They prevent their output from line wrapping.

Examples

Wikitables like this one make the <code> tags transparent, that's why the "code colouring" is missing in these examples.

Code	Result	Comment
{{tlc}}	{{{{{1}}}}}	Shows its own syntax
{{tlc|name}}	{{name}}
{{tlc|name|one}}	{{name|one}}
{{tlc|name|one|two}}	{{name|one|two}}
{{tlc|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.
{{tlc|name|||three|four}}	{{name|||three|four}}	Also shows empty parameters.
{{tlc|name|||three||}}	{{name|||three||}}	Even shows empty parameters that come in the end.
