This template uses Lua:

Module:Demo (sandbox)

This template simply places template code (or any other code) in a <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">...</syntaxhighlight> tag and then places the rendering of that code below. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{your template}}</syntaxhighlight>Template:Your template </syntaxhighlight>

IMPORTANT: You must wrap <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags around the source to be demonstrated (or use {{escape}}, which has a demo-escape example), like so: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">[template source]</syntaxhighlight>[template source]</syntaxhighlight>

Failure to wrap <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags around the source may cause the source to be executed before it reaches this template. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">✗ Fail</syntaxhighlight>✗ Fail</syntaxhighlight> produces: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">✗ Fail</syntaxhighlight>✗ Fail

Pre style

Set |style= to add any CSS text to the <pre>...</pre> tag.

For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="margin-left: 1.6em;">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight> Done</syntaxhighlight> will produce:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="margin-left: 1.6em;">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight> Done

Separator

You can change the separator between the <syntaxhighlight> and the template by setting the |sep= parameter. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight> produces Done</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight> produces Done

You may use |sep=<td> can make the demonstration fit in a table:

Done

Instead of using |sep=, you can also specify the number of line breaks between the code and the template in the |br= parameter.

Reverse order

Use |reverse=1 to show the code snippet and the result in reverse order: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{template}}<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{tl|template}}</syntaxhighlight></syntaxhighlight>

will produce

{{template}}<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{tl|template}}</syntaxhighlight>

Category removal

For templates that add categories (e.g. {{Asbox}}), set |nocat= (or |demo_kill_categories=) to anything to prevent them from showing up in the output: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Asbox | image = Østfold_våpen.svg | pix = 30 | subject = Østfold location | name = Template:Østfold-geo-stub | category = Østfold geography stubs | tempsort = * }}

</syntaxhighlight> produces:

This Østfold location article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

Module

If the template used is based on Lua, you can pass args directly to the demonstrated module by invoking Module:Demo like so: (this would reduce server stress) <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {{#invoke:Demo|module|demo_module=RoundN|demo_module_func=N2|demo_template=Round2 |bold_winner=high |May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2 }}</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Round2 |bold_winner=high |May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2

}}</syntaxhighlight>

	Final

	May 1

	Team A	1

	Team B	2

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 |demo_sep= instead of |sep= (all args you don't want being passed should be prefixed with demo_ if not already)
