Template:Tlc/doc
This is the {{tlc}} template.
This page is also the documentation for {{tld}} and {{tlf}} that work almost exactly the same.
When showing a template name with brackets in documentation you have to escape the brackets in some way so it doesn't become a call to the template. Instead of using <nowiki></nowiki> tags you can write it simpler and shorter by using these templates.
Here is how these templates look. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:
{{tlc|name|parameters}}={{name|parameters}}{{tld|name|parameters}}= {{name|parameters}}<tt></span>{{tlf|name|parameters}}= {{name|parameters}}
These templates work similarly to {{tl}} and See Wikipedia on this., but they don't make the template name into a link. 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 See Wikipedia on this., and then use {{tlc}}, <tt>{{tld}}<tt> or {{tlf}}.
Features of {{tlc}}, <tt>{{tld}}<tt> and {{tlf}}:
- They show a template name and up to eight parameters.
- They also show empty parameters. (See examples below.)
- They prevent line wraps in their output.
АААА=== Examples ===
Wikitables make the <code></code> tags transparent, that's why the "code colouring" is missing in these examples.
| Code | Result | Comment |
|---|---|---|
{{tlc}} | {{tlc|...}} | 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. |
{{tlc|one=a|two=b}} | {{name}} | Equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix. |
{{tlc|name|2=one=a|3=two=b}} | {{name|one=a|two=b}} | Use numbered parameters to fix it. Remember to start from 2, since the "name" is number 1. |
If you have equal signs in your template parameters then it probably is simpler and clearer to code it using <nowiki> tags etc. Here are the codes to emulate {{tlf}}, {{tld}}<tt></span> and {{tlc}} respectively. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:
<nowiki>{{name|one=a|two=b}}</nowiki>= {{name|one=a|two=b}}
<tt><nowiki>{{name|one=a|two=b}}</nowiki></tt>= <tt>{{name|one=a|two=b}}
<code><nowiki>{{name|one=a|two=b}}</nowiki></code>={{name|one=a|two=b}}
