Template:Para/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Para. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 590,000 pages, or roughly 10922% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
- Not to be confused with Template:Paragraph break or Template:Param.
Usage
This template is for giving examples of template parameter source code (useful in template documentation and talk page discussions of template code). It must have one or two parameters itself. The first parameter is the name of the example parameter to display (this may be empty, but it must be present), and the second (optional) parameter is a value for the first example parameter or, if the first {{para}} parameter is empty, an unnamed example parameter.
Examples
| Code | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|

|name=

{{para|title|{{var|book title}}}}

{{para| |section}}

For unnamed parameters; note empty first parameter in the code |
{{para|{{var|parameter}}|{{var|value}}}}

|Template:Var=Template:Var
|
When using literal, pre-specified values, simply provide the value (as in the third example above). When illustrating hypothetical, variable, or user-definable values, use {{var|value}} (as in the second example above). The same should be done for non-literal, example parameters (fourth example above).
