- 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.
- An alternative is to use
{{some text}}. - Set code=on / code=true / etc. to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
- To improve legibility, {{thinsp}}aces are inserted either side of any pipe characters ("Template:Thinsp") 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).
Examples
| Markup | Output |
|---|---|
{{braces|Templatename|item1|item2}}
|
{{Templatename | item1 | item2}} |
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1|item2}}
|
|
{{braces |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}
|
{{Templatename | item1=XYZ | item2=PQR}} |
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}
|
|
Note that omitting the double-braces around the equals signs in the last two examples does not work as intended:
| Markup | Output |
|---|---|
{{braces |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}
|
{{Templatename}} |
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}
|
