Veidne:Template link general/doc

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlg}}, is used to provide stylized links to templates without expanding the template itself.

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.

braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML <code>...</code> tags (monospaced font)	{{tlc}}, {{Template link general}}, etc.
italic	Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics	{{tlxi}}
kbd	Display output using HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags (monospaced font)
nolink	Don't render the template name as a link	{{tlf}}, Veidne:T, Veidne:T
nowrap	Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output
nowrapname	Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed)
plaincode	Uses <code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code>	{{tltss}}
subst	Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name	{{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc

Unnamed (Positional)

This template takes up to ten unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

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.
