Template:Tlxs/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tlxs.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template creates a template link to templatespace for templates which require substitution as well as parameters. For templates that don't take parameters, try {{Tls}}.

Syntax[edit source]

{{tlxs|template|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|tenth}} → {{subst:template|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|tenth}}

Where parameters to be illustrated might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with {{=}}:

{{tlxs|template|first{{=}}something|second|third{{=}}something...|tenth}} → {{subst:template|first=something|second|third=something|...|tenth}}

If an eleventh parameter ore more are included, ... will appear at the end of the code created by this template.

To have the illustrated template name show in bold (e.g. to match use of {{tlxb}} in the same material) add the |bold=y (or |bold=yes, etc.) parameter:

{{tlxs|bold=y|template|first parameter|...}} → {{subst:template|first parameter|...}}

General-purpose formatting[edit source]

Comparison of template-linking templates according to their style
	Link style →	Linked	Unlinked	Linked with subst	Linked including braces	Linked with alternative text
Text style ↓	↓ `{{tlg}}` options¹ →	DEFAULT	`nolink=yes`	`subst=yes`	`braceinside=yes`	`alttext=Foo` `2=Foo`
normal	DEFAULT	`{{tlg}}`¹ `{{tl}}` `{{tlp}}`² `{{tlu}}`³ `{{tln}}`	`{{tlf}}`²	`{{tls}}` `{{tlsp}}` `{{tlus}}`³	`{{tn}}`	`{{tla}}`
`code`	`code=yes`	`{{tl2}}` `{{tlx}}` `{{tlxu}}`³	`{{tlc}}`² `{{tld}}`² `{{tnull}}`	`{{tlxs}}`	N/A
monospace `kbd`	`plaincode=yes`⁴ `kbd=yes`⁵	`{{tltt}}`⁵ `{{tltt2}}`⁵	N/A	`{{tltts}}`⁵ `{{tltts3}}`⁵ `{{tltss}}`⁶	N/A
bold	`bold=yes`	`{{tlb}}`	N/A
`bold+code`	`bold=yes\|code=yes`	`{{tlxb}}`
`italic+code`	`italic=yes\|code=yes`	`{{tlxi}}`
¹ `{{tlg}}` is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options. ² Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside `<span class="nowrap">...</span>` tags. ³ Allows links to templates in any namespace. ⁴ `{{tlg\|plaincode=yes}}` uses `<code style="border:none; background-color:transparent;">...</code>`. ⁵ Displays monospaced font using `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (changed from `<tt>...</tt>` for HTML 5 compliance). ⁶ Displays monospaced font using `<span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>`.
