{{tlp}}

This template uses Lua:

Module:Template link general

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlp}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.

Parameters ସମ୍ପାଦନା

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
brace	Include braces as part of the template link	{{example}}	{{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link	{{example}}
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	{{example}}	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML `<code>...</code>` tags (monospaced font)	`{{example}}`	{{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic	Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics	{{example\|param}}	{{tlxi}}
kbd	Display output using HTML `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (monospaced font)	`{{example}}`
nolink	Don't render the template name as a link	{{example}}	{{tlf}}, {{tlc}}, {{tnull}}
nowrap	Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output	{{example}}
nowrapname	Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed)	{{example}}
plaincode	Uses `<code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code>`	`{{example}}`	{{tltss}}
subst	Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name	{{subst:example}}	{{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
`\|alttext=[text]`	Use [text] as the label for the template link	{{Other}}	{{tla}}

Unnamed (Positional) ସମ୍ପାଦନା

This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

Examples ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Note: On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2, …, X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

Comparison of template-linking templates according to their style
	Link style →	Linked	Unlinked	Linked with subst	Linked including braces	Linked with alternative text
Text style ↓	↓ `{{tlg}}` options¹ →	DEFAULT	`nolink=yes`	`subst=yes`	`braceinside=yes`	`alttext=Foo` `2=Foo`
normal	DEFAULT	`{{tlg}}`¹ `{{tl}}` `{{tlp}}`² `{{tlu}}`³	`{{tlf}}`²	`{{tls}}` `{{tlsp}}` `{{tlsu}}`³	`{{tn}}`	`{{tla}}`

¹ `{{tlg}}` is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options. ² Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside `<span class="nowrap">...</span>` tags. ³ Allows links to templates in any namespace. ⁴ `{{tlg\|plaincode=yes}}` uses `<code style="border:none; background-color:transparent;">...</code>`. ⁵ Displays monospaced font using `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (changed from `<tt>...</tt>` for HTML 5 compliance). ⁶ Displays monospaced font using `<span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>`.
