Usage

This template is a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's the same as {{tlx}} except that it boldfaces the name of the template (or you can think of it as the same as {{tlb}} except that it uses <code>...</code> to provide a non-proportional, monospaced font instead of normal text). Its main use is in highlighting to distinguish between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

Examples

Code	Result	Remark
{{tlxb|abc}}	{{abc}}
{{tlxb|abc|parameter1|parameter2}}	{{abc|parameter1|parameter2}}
{{tlxb|abc|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}}	{{abc|parm1|parm2=foo}}	Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}}.
{{tlxb}}	{{[[Template:|]]}}	This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way.

Note: This documentation for {{tlx}} is also transcluded by its derivatives {{tlxb}}, {{tlxc}} (edit · master page).

This template is used to show example template usage without expanding the template itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{tlx|Template|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}} produces: {{Template:Example|first parameter|second parameter|third parameter|...|tenth parameter}}

When you want to indicate setting a value to one or more parameters, you would normally use the equals-sign ("="). This doesn't work here; instead use

=

, like so:

{{tlx|Template|first{{=}}first value|second|third{{=}}third value}} produces: {{Template:Example|first=first value|second|third=third value}}

For more than ten parameters – with or without equals-signs – instead wrap the entire list of parameters and their values in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags. When you do, you don't need to replace equals-signs. For instance:

{{tlx|Template|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=value''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces: {{Template:Example|first|second|third=value|...|999th}}
