{{tlp|...}}
This is the {{ utlp}} or user template link with parameters template.
It is based on the {{ tlp}} template, but does not link to template namespace.
It can be used in documentation and talk page discussions to show how a user-space template name would be used in code.
Here is how this template looks. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:
{{utlp|name|parameters}}= {{ name|parameters}}
Features of {{ utlp}}:
- It shows a transcluded page name with a link to that page.
- It shows up to eight parameters.
- It also shows empty parameters. (See examples below.)
- It prevents line wraps in its output.
- It uses normal text style. (While for instance
{{ tlx}}usesteletypetext style.)
This template belongs to a whole family of similar templates. See the
see also section below for some of them. For instance, when writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. Then on the first occurrence of a template name use {{
tl}}, {{
tlp}} or {{
tlx}}, and then use {{tlf}}, {{tld}} or {{tlc}}.
Examples
| Code | Result | Comment |
|---|---|---|
{{utlp}} |
{{tlp|...}} | Shows its own syntax. |
{{utlp|name}} |
{{ name}} | |
{{utlp|name|one}} |
{{ name|one}} | |
{{utlp|name|one|two}} |
{{ name|one|two}} | |
{{utlp|name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j}} |
{{ name|a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h}} | Shows up to eight parameters. The rest are dropped. |
{{utlp|name|three|four}} |
{{ name|||three|four}} | Also shows empty parameters. |
{{utlp|name|three}} |
{{ name|||three||}} | Even shows empty parameters that come in the end. |
{{utlp|name|one=a|two=b}} |
{{ name}} | Equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix. |
{{utlp|name|2=one=a|3=two=b}} |
{{ name|one=a|two=b}} | Use numbered parameters to fix it. Remember to start from 2, since the "name" is number 1. |
If you have equal signs in your template parameters then some find it simpler to code it using <nowiki> tags, or the = or = character references. Here's how to do that. Code to the left and actual rendering to the right:
{{utlp|name|<nowiki>one=a|two=b</nowiki>}}= {{ name|one=a|two=b}}{{utlp|name|one=a|two=b}}= {{ name|one=a|two=b}}
