Template:Template link with subst

{{subst:Template:Template link with subst}}

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

This template, often abbreviated as {{tls}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline.

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}}

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}}	{{tlf}}, {{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}}

_expand	Will add a link to the expanded template page	{{subst:Min|7|-5}}
