Template:Para/doc

Usage

This template is for giving examples of template parameter source code (useful in template documentation and talk page discussions of template code). It must have one or two parameters itself. The first parameter is the name of the example parameter to display (this may be empty, but it must be present), and the second (optional) parameter is a value for the first example parameter or, if the first {{para}} parameter is empty, an unnamed example parameter.

Examples

Code	Result	Notes
{{para|name}}	|name=
{{para|title|The Oxford English Dictionary}}	|title=The Oxford English Dictionary
{{para| |section}}	|section	For unnamed parameters; note empty first parameter in the code
{{para|{{var|parameter}}|{{var|value}}}}	|Template:Var=Template:Var

When using literal, pre-specified values, simply provide the value (as in the third example above). When illustrating hypothetical, variable, or user-definable values, use {{var|value}} (as in the second example above). The same should be done for non-literal, example parameters (fourth example above).

See also the three tables below; they describe the family of approximately forty templates built for talking about templates.

Here are some related templates or subjects not found in those tables:

• {{Param}}, for markup of examples of parameter names as they would appear in MediaWiki source code of templates, e.g. Template:Tnull gives: Template:Param
• {{Tag|attribs}}, for markup of examples of HTML elements' attributes and values; e.g. Template:Tnull gives: Template:Tag
