Template:Braces/doc

• 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 {{foo}}.
• Set |code="on", "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|Template:Thinsp") displayed by the template.
• To ensure equals-signs are handled as text by the template, use Template:Tlspc to produce them – e.g. {{braces|Templatename|p1=v1|p2=v2|...}} (and see examples below).

Examples

{{braces|Templatename|item1|item2}} → {{TemplatenameTemplate:Thinspitem1Template:Thinspitem2}}

{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1|item2}} → {{TemplatenameTemplate:Thinspitem1Template:Thinspitem2}}

Using Template:Tlspc to produce equals-signs:

{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}} → {{TemplatenameTemplate:Thinspitem1=XYZTemplate:Thinspitem2=PQR}}

Not using Template:Tlspc to produce equals-signs (incorrect):

N {{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}} → {{Templatename}}
