{{tlx|template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}{{template|first parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eight|ninth}}

Purpose and naming: Mnemonically 'Template list expanded'... after {{tl}} Template list'

This template takes another template-name and some associated pipe-tricked (numbered) parameters (or 'pass parameters'), and displays them as an 'example demonstration' of how the template-name template could be coded, literally. It's primary use is in instruction and documentation.

Contents

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 "&#124;..."). A keyword parameter can be used, when tagged as a nowiki-keyword: "<nowiki>size=10<\nowiki>" with each keyword parameter surrounded by "<nowiki>" tags; see Examples at bottom.

Exceptions

If the intended template lists numerous/keyword parameters, then perhaps this template should really not be used, and just hardcode the usage in double-braces, putting only nowiki-braces "{{" to start, such as: "<nowiki>{{<\nowiki>Anytemplate |arg1=23 |siz=250px}}".

If given no additional parameters except  'template name' ({{{1}}}),  it presents the same as the similar {{tlp}} macro template -- a blue link nested in curly-braces -- but better readability in modern browsers.

{{tlp|tl}} display compared to {{tlx|tl}}: (Tlp: {{tlx}} versus Tlx: {{tlx}})

Comparatively, {{tl}} will not take or display additional parameters, and for minor technical reasons, may preferred for mere listing and referencing in long pages involving a lot of template expansions.

Usage

{{tlx|template name}}
{{tlx|template name|param}}
{{tlx|template name|1|2|3}}
{{tlx|template name|1|2|3&#124;more}}
{{tlx|template name|param&#61;value}}

Up to three placeholders for parameters of the specified template
