Şablon:Tlxm

{{[[M:Şablon:|]]}} This '{{Tlx}}' template documentation is transcluded for all Tlx family templates (Tlx, Tlxc, Tlxw, Tlxb) [edit].Masterpage  

{{Tlx|Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}} → {{Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}}

{{Tlx|first parameter|...|third|tenth}} → {{Template|first parameter|second|third|...|tenth}} if they might contain "=" signs.

{{Tlx|Template|<nowiki>first|second|...|999th</nowiki>}} → {{Template|first|second|...|999th}} (for more than 10 parameters)

Purpose and naming

Mnemonically 'Template link expanded'. After {{Tl}} 'Template link'.

• This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
• Specifics: Up to 10 pass parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and over 10 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "&#124;..."). A keyword parameter can be used with equals code &#61; or {{=}} or in nowiki-text: "<nowiki>size=10</nowiki>" or all parameters as a string in "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom. For more details, see this talk page.
• Exceptions: If the intended template lists numerous parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki>, for example: <code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|size=250px|other parameters...}}</nowiki></code>. If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <pre>...</pre>.

---

• If given no additional parameters except  'template name' ({{{1}}}),  it presents the same as the similar {{Tl}} macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces-- the same as a user would apply the template without parameters, but with a noticably clearer font and spacing on most modern browsers.

• {{Tl|Tl}} display compared to {{Tlx|Tl}}: (Tl: {{Tl}} versus Tlx: {{Tl}})

• Comparatively, {{Tl}} will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may be preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions.

• {{Tlx}} has a named parameter subst. Setting this parameter to any string of length 1 or greater will place the string "subst:" before the template name, linked to Help:Substitution. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example {{Tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}} will display {{Welcome}}.

• Additionally, Tlx will take a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' to link interwiki to other sister projects such as one of these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allowing documentation or discourse about a template across interwiki boundaries.

Documentation

{{Tlxm}} is a generalization of {{Tl|x}}, {{Tlp|x|y}}, etcetera with arguably better readable output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow uses of "{", "|", "}" in conjunction with links can be hard to read.

Usage

{{Tlxm|template name}}

{{Tlxm|template name|param}}

{{Tlxm|template name|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}

{{Tlxm|template name|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10&#124;more}}

{{Tlxm|template name|param&#61;value}}

Up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template

See also

• Template:Tlxb – same as {{Tlx}}, but gives the template name in boldface type (this can be useful when stressing the difference between two similarly named templates). Template:Tlb is the same, except it uses regular text instead of a monospaced non-proportional font.
• Template:Temt, – same as {{Tlx}}, but handles template names with the Template: prefix and templates not in the Template: namespace {{ns:10}}.
• Template:Para – for giving examples of template parameters and values only, instead of entire templates with parameters.
