 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tlc. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{tlc}} template.
This template helps writing documentation which mentions {{templates}}, or even {{templates|that|has|parameters}}. It works similarly to {{tl}} and {{tlx}}, but it doesn't make the template name into a link.
This page is also the documentation for some other templates:
{{tld}}– Works the same, but looks like this:{{name|parameter}}- {{tlf}} – Works the same, but looks like this: {{name|parameter}}
Writing {{tlc|template name|parameter}} corresponds to writing
<code><nowiki>{{template name|parameter}}</nowiki></code> and produces the output {{template name|parameter}}.
When writing documentation you might want to avoid a lot of unnecessary links, since it decreases readability. So on the first occurrence of a template name use {{tl}} or {{tlx}}, and then use {{tlc}}, {{tld}} or {{tlf}}.
Examples
Wikitables like this one make the <code> tags transparent, that's why we don't see the "code colouring" in these examples.
