সাঁচ:Tlb

Explanation

This template is a copy of {{tlxb}} except that it uses normal text instead of non-proportional, monospaced text:

Code	Result	Remark
{{tlb|Template name}}	{{||সাঁচ:Template name|Template name]]}}
{{tlb|Template name|parm1|parm2}}	{{||সাঁচ:Template name|Template name]]|parm1|parm2}}
{{tlb|Template name|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}}	{{||সাঁচ:Template name|Template name]]|parm1|parm2=foo}}	Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}}.
{{tlb}}	{{||সাঁচ:Tlb|]]}}	This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked.
{{tlb|SISTER=m:|3x}}	{{||m:সাঁচ:3x|3x]]}}	Link to page on another wiki.

I.e., it's a {{tl}}-style template-link tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tlu}} instead).

সাঁচ নথিকৰণ

This '{{Tlx}}' template documentation is transcluded for all Tlx family templates (Tlx, Tlxc, Tlxm, Tlxw, Tlxb) [[1]].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 thetemplate-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 Examplesat 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 {{subst: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

{{Tlb}} is a generalization of {{Tl}}, {{Tlp}}, 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

{{Tlb|template name}}

{{Tlb|template name|param}}

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

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

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

Up to 10 placeholders for parameters of the specified template

Examples

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.

• 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 theTemplate: namespace {{ns:10}}.
• Template:Para – for giving examples of template parameters and values only, instead of entire templates with parameters.
