Created page with "{{Documentation subpage}} {{Distinguish|Template:Subst}} {{Subst only}}  == Usage == With cert..."

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{Distinguish|Template:Subst}}
{{Subst only}}


== Usage ==
With certain coding, subst: does not automatically convert when it is saved. An editor can create wikitext that is only converted when saved again.

Normally wikitext like <code><nowiki>{{subst:a}}</nowiki></code> is not saved as <code><nowiki>{{subst:a}}</nowiki></code> if <code><nowiki>{{template:a}}</nowiki></code> exists, because [[help:substitution|subst:]] pastes the coding of template:a in the saved page.

This template makes it easy to save [[mw:Manual:Creating pages with preloaded text|preload pages]] such as [[Template:RMassist/preload]].

==Delaying template substitution==
"Subst" can be delayed with one save by creating and using {{tl|delay subst}}.

{|style="border-style: solid; border: 1px solid #000" cellpadding=10
|- style="vertical-align:top;"
!template used
!template coding
!Paste or type
!Save
!Result
|-
|style="border-style: solid; border: 1px solid #000"|[[Template:Delay subst]]
|style="border-style: solid; border: 1px solid #000"|<code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki></code>
|style="border-style: solid; border: 1px solid #000"|<code><nowiki>{{subst:delay subst}}a|b}}</nowiki></code>
|style="border-style: solid; border: 1px solid #000"|save page
|style="border-style: solid; border: 1px solid #000"|<code><nowiki>{{subst:a|b}}</nowiki></code>
|}

On the next save (with or without edits elsewhere on the page) results in substitution of template "a".
