The '''template link''' (or "tl") template is a simple [[w:Macro (computer science)|macro]] [[m:Help:template|template]] used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing the template name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a template by name without invoking it.


==Examples==
{{Tlx|Tl}} is used to display a template name as a link. '''Tl''' stands for '''Template link'''.
An example of its use is:


::<code><nowiki>{{tl|Example}}</nowiki></code>
== Usage ==
:which generates
<pre>
::{{tl|Example}}
{{subst:Tl|template name to display}}
</pre>
== Example ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Code
! Result
|-
| <code>{&#123;subst:Tl&#124;tfd&#125;}</code>  
| {{[[Template:tfd|tfd]]}}
|}
