Template:Bracket/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bracket. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
This template provides a way to wrap wiki markup, or plain text, in (single) square brackets. More importantly, it helps to keep the markup free of line noise and thus easier to edit.
Usage
change{{bracket|[[Wikipedia:Example]]}}→ [Wikipedia:Example]{{bracket|[[Hernals |17th district of Vienna {{bracket | Austria}}]]}}→ [17th district of Vienna [Austria]]{{bracket|Plain text}}→ [Plain text]{{bracket}}→ [
Function
changeThis template is a simple wrapper around the [ and ] HTML entities that produce starting and ending brackets, respectively.
The template cannot output just an ending bracket. You will have to use ] to produce the "]" ending bracket.
This template is not necessary in Citation Style 1 templates. You can simply use square brackets, and they will be treated as ordinary text (and not wiki markup) when it constructs links.
