{{ }}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

• 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.
• Set code=on / code=true / etc. to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
• To improve legibility, {{thin space}}s are inserted either side of any pipe characters (" | ") displayed by the template.
• To ensure equals-signs are handled as text by the template, use {{=}} to produce them – e.g. {{braces|Templatename|p1{{=}}v1|p2{{=}}v2|...}} (and see examples below).

Function

• This template wraps the HTML entities {{ and }}.

Limitations

• The template cannot output just the starting double braces or just the ending double braces. You will have to write {{ or }}. Or you could use Template:( and Template:).

Examples

Markup	Output
{{braces|Templatename|item1|item2}}	{{Templatename | item1 | item2}}
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1|item2}}	{{Templatename | item1 | item2}}
{{braces |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}	{{Templatename | item1=XYZ | item2=PQR}}
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}	{{Templatename | item1=XYZ | item2=PQR}}

Note that omitting the double-braces around the equals signs in the last two examples does not work as intended:

Markup	Output
{{braces |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}	{{Templatename}}
{{braces |code=on |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}	{{Templatename}}
