Template documentation

This documentation is  transcluded from Template:Braces/doc. (Edit | history)
Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.

• This template returns the first unnamed parameter in double braces. To be used to demonstrate template code without the need for clunky nowiki'ing. Further unnamed parameters (up to 8 more) can be used without worrying for pipes.
• Set code=on / code=true / etc. to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
• To improve legibility, {{thin space}}s are inserted either side of any pipe characters (" | ") displayed by the template.
• To ensure equals-signs are handled as text by the template, use {{=}} to produce them – e.g. {{braces|Templatename|p1{{=}}v1|p2{{=}}v2|...}} (and see examples below).

Function

• This template wraps the  HTML entities {{ and }}.

Limitations

• The template cannot output just the starting double braces or just the ending double braces. You will have to write {{ or }}. Or you could use Template:( and Template:).

Examples

{{braces|Templatename|item1|item2}}

Note that omitting the double-braces around the equals signs in the last two examples does not work as intended: {{braces |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}
