Template:Documentation subpage
The template link template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. A short example is that the code:
{{Tl|Example}}
- generates
- {{Example}}
More complex variations are described below.
Example
| Code | Result |
|---|---|
{{Tl|X0}}

|
{{3x}} |
{{Tl2|SISTER=wikibooks|LANG=de:|WP}}
|
{{WP}} |
