}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.

===Parameters===
With the exception of {{mono|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 ([[#Examples|see Examples below]]). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see [[#General-purpose formatting|the main table]] for all alternate options.

Shortcut

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlg}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.

Parameters

With the exception of Template:Mono, 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.

Parameter Action Use with
{{example}}		 Default active
brace Include braces as part of the template link {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}} {{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside Include innermost braces as part of the template link Template:!((:Template:Example|{{example}}]]
bold Renders the template link/name in bold {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}} {{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code Display output using HTML <code>...</code> tags (monospaced font) {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}} {{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]|param}} {{tlxi}}
kbd Display output using HTML <kbd>...</kbd> tags (monospaced font) {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}}
nolink Don't render the template name as a link {{example}} {{tlf}}, {{tlc}}, {{tnull}}
nowrap Prevent the insertion of line breaks (word wrap) in the output {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}}
nowrapname Prevent word wrapping in the output of template name/link (parameters will wrap if needed) {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}}
plaincode Uses <code style="border:none; background:transparent;">...</code> {{Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}} {{tltss}}
subst Include a subst: prefix before the template link/name {{subst:Template:!((:Template:Example|example]]}} {{tls}}, {{tlxs}}, etc
|alttext=[text] Use [text] as the label for the template link {{Template:!((:Template:Example|Other]]}} {{tla}}

Unnamed (Positional)

This template can take any number of unnamed parameters as parameters accompanying the template link (or name); see Examples below.

Examples

Note
On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2, …, X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

Script error: No such module "aligned table".

Wrapping of long names (default)
Code Output
{{tlg|long template name that would wrap to new line|this is a long value for the 1st parameter that would wrap}} {{Template:!((:Template:Long template name that would wrap to new line|long template name that would wrap to new line]]|this is a long value for the 1st parameter that would wrap}}
Wrapping of long names (nowrap=on)
Code Output
{{tlg|nowrap=on|long template name that would wrap to new line|long value for the 1st parameter that would wrap}} {{Template:!((:Template:Long template name that would wrap to new line|long template name that would wrap to new line]]|long value for the 1st parameter that would wrap}}
Wrapping of long names (nowrapname=on)
Code Output
{{tlg|nowrapname=on|long template name that would wrap to new line|long value for the 1st parameter that would wrap}} {{Template:!((:Template:Long template name that would wrap to new line|long template name that would wrap to new line]]|long value for the 1st parameter that would wrap}}
