Template:Param value/doc

Provides a lightly bordered box to highlight param values on Template documentation pages. Especially useful in cases where values may have leading or trailing blanks, or multiple embedded blanks.

Usage

{{param value|value}}

Parameters

There is one required positional parameter for the value, and four optional params: three for styling the display, and one replacement parameter for dealing with how to render a blank space:

|1 = – the value to be highlighted; required (no default)

|border = – may be used to set border attributes. default: :

|bg-color = – may be used to set background-color. default: . Alias: |bg =.

|style = – may be used to set any CSS style attributes, with one or more semicolon-separated pairs. default:none.

|space = – may be used to make spaces visible. Alias: |sp =. See #Making spaces visible below.

Note on special characters: if the value to be highlighted contains an equal sign, it must be escaped: use {{=}} instead of a bare equal sign character.

Examples

• {{param value|2blanks between}} yields:
• {{param value|2blanks between|space=·}} yields:
• {{param value| * : # }} yields:
• {{param value| * : # |border=2px dashed khaki}} yields:
• {{param value|white|bg=yellow}} yields:
• {{pvalue|thin solid #caa|bg=#f5fcf9}} yields: Template:Pvalue
• {{pval|* #|border=thin dashed purple|bg=#ffe6e6|style=border-radius:5px|space=␠}} yields: Template:Pval

Making spaces visible

You may make space characters visible by replacing them with any character you choose using param Template:Para. Here are some characters that have been historically used for this purpose. In these examples, there are two spaces between one and two:

• Space symbol – (U+2420 = ␠ ) : {{param value|one two|space=␠}} ⟶ Template:Param value
• Blank symbolTemplate:Snd(U+2422 = ␢ ) : {{pvalue|one two|space=␢}} ⟶ Template:Pvalue
  • Blank symbolTemplate:Snd (smaller: ␢) : {{pvalue|one two|space=<small>␢</small>}} ⟶ Template:Param value
• MiddotTemplate:Snd(U+00B7 = · ) : {{pval|one two|space=·}} ⟶ Template:Pval
• UnderbracketTemplate:Snd(U+23B5 = ⎵ ) : {{pval|one two|space=⎵}} ⟶ Template:Pval
• White rectangleTemplate:Snd(U+25AF = ▯ ) : {{pval|one two|space=▯}} ⟶ Template:Pval
• UndertieTemplate:Snd(U+203F = ‿ ) : {{pval|one two|space=‿}} ⟶ Template:Pval
