Templat:Template link expanded with subst

{{subst:Templat:Template link expanded with subst}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlxs}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

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. If a row renders identically to a previous row, it means the current template does not support that option and {{tlg}} needs to be used instead.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
	Default (without accessory parameters)	{{subst:example}}
brace	Include braces as part of the template link	{{subst:example}}	{{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link	{{subst:example}}
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	{{subst:example}}	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML <code>...</code> tags (monospaced font)	{{subst:example}}	{{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic	Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics	{{subst:example|param}}	{{tlxi}}
kbd	Display output using HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags (monospaced font)	{{subst:example}}
nolink	Don't render the template name as a link	{{example}}	{{tlf}}, {{tnull}}
nowrap	Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output	{{subst:example}}	{{tlp}}
nowrapname	Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed)	{{subst:example}}
plaincode	Uses <code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code>	{{subst:example}}	{{tltss}}
subst	Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name	{{subst:example}}	{{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
alttext=[text]	Replace [text] with the actual label to be displayed for the template link	{{subst:Other}}	{{tla}}
_show_result	Will also display the result of the template	{{subst:Min|7|-5}} → -5
_expand	Will add a link to the expanded template page	{{subst:Min|7|-5}} [1]
a	will add an asterisk before the template code	* {{subst:Min|7|-5}}

Unnamed (Positional)

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

Use the displayed value in the code column, not the underlying source code.
