Template:Para/doc

Not to be confused with Template:Paragraph break or Template:Param.

Usage

This template is for giving examples of template parameter source code (useful in template documentation and talk page discussions of template code). It must have one or two parameters itself. The first is the name of the example parameter to display (this may be empty, but it must be present), and the second (optional) one is a value for the first example parameter, or (if the first {{para}} parameter is empty) an unnamed example parameter.

Examples

Code Result Notes
{{para|name}} |name=
{{para|title|<var>book title</var>}} |title=book title
{{para| |section}} |section For unnamed parameters; note empty first parameter in the code
{{para|<var>parameter</var>|<var>value</var>}} |parameter=value

When using literal, pre-specified values, simply provide the value (as in the third example above). When illustrating hypothetical, variable or user-definable values, use <var>value</var> (as in the second example above) and the same should be done for non-literal, example parameters (fourth example above).

  • {{Param}}
  • {{Tlx}}, for providing examples of entire-template[?] code including parameters.
