Template:Xpdoc/doc
More actions
The expansion demo templates show, for documentation:
- some wikitext
- its rendering
without the need of repeating the parameters in the wikitext.
Naming scheme:
- o = double opening braces
- c = double closing braces
This template combines the functionality of templates listed in m:Help:Expansion demo templates with a single o and c (no nesting), but with some restrictions.
Usage
{{xpdoc |1= |2= |gives= }}
In the case of demonstrating a template, values of unnamed parameters of this template are trimmed, so Template:Xpdoc cannot be used for demonstrating the effect of spaces at the start or end of an unnamed parameter.
Template parameters
| Parameter | Description | Default | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | name of parser function, a colon, and the first parameter, or name of template | empty | required | |
2 | the parameter after the first pipe | empty | optional | |
gives | text (or the empty string) to replace the word "gives", e.g. gives={{!}}{{!}} to produce "||", for use in a table | gives | optional | |
