Line 20:
* 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.
* '''''Specifics:''''' Up to five pass parameters (numbered or nowiki-keywords) for the specified template are displayed as 'placeholders', and over 5 parameters can be displayed using a coded vertical-bar (as in "<small>&#124;</small>''...''"). A keyword parameter can be used, when tagged as a nowiki-keyword: <nowiki>"<nowiki>siz=10<\nowiki>"</nowiki> with each keyword parameter surrounded by <nowiki>"<nowiki>"</nowiki> tags; see ''[[#Examples|Examples]]'' at bottom. For more details, see the [[w:{{TALKPAGENAME}}|this talk]] page.
* '''''Exceptions:''''' If the intended template lists numerous/keyword parameters, then perhaps this template should really ''not'' be used, and just hardcode the usage with <code><nowiki><code><nowiki></code>, for example: <code><nowiki><code><nowiki>{{Anytemplate|arg1=23|siz=250px|</nowiki><var>other parameters...</var><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code></nowiki></code>. If a vertical display, with parameters on their own lines, is desired, this can also be laid out manually in this manner, or more rapidly done with <code><nowiki><pre>...</pre></nowiki></code>.
