== Usage ==<br />
This template simply places template code in a {{tag|pre}} tag and then places the template below the pre tag.<br />
<pre><br />
{{demo<br />
|br =<br />
|demo_kill_categories =<br />
|&lt;nowiki>{{your template}}&lt;/nowiki><br />
}}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''{{red|IMPORTANT}}''': You must wrap include {{tag|nowiki}} tags around the source to be demonstrated (or use {{t|escape}}, which has a demo-escape example), like so:<br />
<pre>{{demo|&lt;nowiki>[template source]</nowiki>}}</pre><br />
<br />
*Failure to wrap {{tag|nowiki}} tags around the source may cause the source to be executed before it reaches this template:{{demo|{{fail}}}}<br />
<br />
=== Pre style ===<br />
Set <code>style=</code> to add any CSS text to the {{tag|pre}} tag.<br />
<br />
For example, <code>{{escape|mode=kill|{*{demo!style{{=}}display:inline!&lt;nowiki>{*{done}*}</nowiki>}*}|*|char=!|{{!}}}}</code>, would result in:<br />
<br />
<br />
{{demo|style=display:inline|<nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
=== Line breaks ===<br />
You can change the number of line breaks between the pre tag and the template by setting <code>br=</code> to a number. The default is 1.<br />
<pre>{{demo|br=3|&lt;nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}</pre><br />
{{demo|br=5|<nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
<br />
====Alternative separator====<br />
You may also include an alternative separator by setting {{para|br}} to something other than a number and it will take the place of the br tags. For example, {{para|br|&lt;td>}} can make demo fit in a table:<br />
<br />
{|border=1<br />
|-<br />
|{{demo|br=<td>|{{((}}done{{))}}}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Category removal ===<br />
For templates that add categories (e.g. {{t|Asbox}}), set {{para|demo_kill_categories|}} (or {{para|nocat|}}) to anything to prevent them from showing up in the output:<br />
{{demo|br=produces:|demo_kill_categories=yes<br />
|<nowiki>{{Asbox<br />
| image = Østfold_våpen.svg<br />
| pix = 30<br />
| subject = [[Østfold]] location<br />
| name = Template:Østfold-geo-stub<br />
| category = Østfold geography stubs<br />
| tempsort = *<br />
}}<br />
</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
=== Module ===<br />
If the template used is based on [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]], you can pass args directly to the demonstrated module by invoking [[Module:Demo]] like so: (this would reduce server stress)<br />
{{demo|br=0|<nowiki><br />
{{#invoke:Demo|module|demo_br=0| demo_module=RoundN | demo_module_func = N2|demo_template = Round2<br />
|bold_winner=high<br />
|May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2<br />
}}</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
Note: It will attempt to preserve line breaks for unnamed params, but such is impossible for named params since those are stripped of whitespace/order before being passed to the module. Also note, you should use {{para|demo_br}} instead of {{para|br}} (all args you don't want being passed should be prefixed with 'demo_' if not already)<br />
<br />
== Redirects ==<br />
* {{tl|Template Pre}}<br />
* {{tl|Tpre}}<br />
* {{tl|Doc pre}}<br />
<br />
== See also==<br />
* {{tl|Demo-inline}}, for an inline version of this template<br />
* {{tl|Escape}} - which has an example of this template without nowiki tags<br />
* {{tl|Nowiki template demo}} which uses [[Module:Template test case]]<br />
* {{tl|Automarkup}} which uses [[Module:Automarkup]]<br />
