Template:=

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

Usage

This template allows "=" to be used in unnamed template parameters. It inserts the equals-sign ("=") into the text. Alternatively, the HTML entity "=" can be used if there is no need for it to be interpreted as wikimarkup, such as when the literal equals-sign is to be displayed to the user.

Examples

• {{Font color|black|yellow|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}} produces: 2 + 2 = 4

You can also use named parameters to bypass the restriction:

• {{Font color|black|yellow|3= 2 + 2 = 4}} produces: 2 + 2 = 4

Unlike =, the template only delays the interpretation of the symbol as code:

{{concat|<div style{{=}}"font-style:italic">This should be italicised.</div>}}
{{concat|<div style&#61;"font-style:italic">This will not be italicised.</div>}}

produces:

This should be italicised.

This will not be italicised.
