Template:Braces/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Braces.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template returns the first unnamed parameter in double braces. To be used to demonstrate template code without the need for clunky nowiki'ing. Further unnamed parameters (up to 8 more) can be used without worrying for pipes.
An alternative is to use {{foo}}.
Set code=on / code=true / etc to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
To improve legibility, {{thinsp}}aces are inserted either side of any pipe characters (" | ") displayed by the template.
To ensure equals-signs are handled as text by the template, use Template:Tlpad to produce them – e.g. Template:Plaincode (and see examples below).
