: {{Tlx|Tlx|Template|<nowiki>first|second|...|999th</nowiki>}} → {{Tlx|Template|<nowiki>first|second|...|999th</nowiki>}} (for more than 10 parameters)
The three dots in these examples represent a number of arguments that have been omitted in the examples and are not an actual argument.

== Purpose and naming ==
* This template takes another ''template-name'' and some associated [[w:pipe-trick|pipe-tricked]] [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Parameter#Parameters (numbered) parameters] (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the ''template-name'' template could be coded, literally. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.▼

* '''''Exceptions:''''' If the intended template lists numerous
----
* If given no additional parameters except ''<code> 'template name' (<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>), </code>'' it presents the same as the similar {{tl|Tl}} [[
:* {{Tlx|Tl|Tl}} display compared to {{Tlx|Tlx|Tl}}: (Tl: {{Tl|
* Comparatively, {{Tlx|Tl}} will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may be preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions
* {{tlx|Tlx}} has a named parameter ''subst''. Setting this parameter to any string of length 1 or greater will place the string "subst:" before the template name, linked to [[Help:Substitution]]. This is useful to indicate when a template should be substituted. For example {{tlx|Tlx|Welcome|<nowiki>subst=Y</nowiki>}} will display {{Tlx|Welcome|subst=Y}}.
* Additionally, Tlx will take a 'named' parameter 'SISTER' to link interwiki to other sister projects such as one of these examples: '|SISTER=W:', 'Tlx|SISTER=M:', 'Tlx|SISTER=Q:', 'Tlx|SISTER=S:', allowing documentation or discourse about a template across interwiki boundaries. Small 'front end' Shell or convience templates {{Tlx|Tlxw}} and {{tlx|Tlxm}} are typing-aid templates available at Meta for automatic substitution in discussions about templates on Wikipedia or Meta.▼

{{[[Template:{{
is a generalization of {{
etcetera with arguably better readable
output. This depends on the browser, but too narrow
uses of "'''{'''", "'''|'''", "'''}'''" in conjunction
with links can be hard to read.

* [[Template:Tlxb]] – same as {{tl|Tlx}}, but gives the template name in boldface type (this can be useful when stressing the difference between two similarly named templates). [[Template:Tlb]] is the same, except it uses regular text instead of a monospaced non-proportional font.
* [[Template:Temt]], – same as {{tl|Tlx}}, but handles template names with the Template: prefix and templates not in the [[Wikipedia:Namespace|Template: namespace]] <nowiki>{{ns:10}}</nowiki>.
* [[Template:Para]] – for giving examples of template parameters and values only, instead of entire templates with parameters.
