Template:Demo/doc

This template simply places template code (or any other code) in a <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">...</syntaxhighlight> tag and then places the template below the code. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{your template}} </syntaxhighlight>Template:Your template

</syntaxhighlight>

IMPORTANT: You must wrap include <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags around the source to be demonstrated (or use {{escape}}, which has a demo-escape example), like so: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><nowiki>[template source]</nowiki></syntaxhighlight><nowiki>[template source]</nowiki></syntaxhighlight>

Failure to wrap <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags around the source may cause the source to be executed before it reaches this template: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Template:Fail</syntaxhighlight>Template:Fail</syntaxhighlight> produces <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Template:Fail</syntaxhighlight>Template:Fail

Pre style

Set |style= to add any CSS text to the <pre>...</pre> tag.

For example, <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="margin-left: 1.6em;">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight>Template:Done</syntaxhighlight> will produce

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="margin-left: 1.6em;">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight>Template:Done

Separator

You can change the separator between the <syntaxhighlight> and the template by setting the |sep= parameter. <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><nowiki>Template:Done</nowiki></syntaxhighlight> produces <nowiki>Template:Done</nowiki></syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{done}}</syntaxhighlight> produces Template:Done

You may use |sep=<td> can make the demonstration fit in a table:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Template:((doneTemplate:))</syntaxhighlight>

Template:((doneTemplate:))

Instead of using |sep=, you can also specify the number of line breaks between the code and the template in the |br= parameter.

Reverse order

Use |reverse=1 to show the code snippet and the result in reverse order: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{template}}<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{tl|template}}</syntaxhighlight></syntaxhighlight>

will produce

{{template}}<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{tl|template}}</syntaxhighlight>

Category removal

For templates that add categories (e.g. {{Asbox}}), set |nocat= (or |demo_kill_categories=) to anything to prevent them from showing up in the output: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Asbox | image = Østfold_våpen.svg | pix = 30 | subject = Østfold location | name = Template:Østfold-geo-stub | category = Østfold geography stubs | tempsort = * }} </syntaxhighlight> produces: Template:Asbox

Module

If the template used is based on Lua, you can pass args directly to the demonstrated module by invoking Module:Demo like so: (this would reduce server stress) <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {{#invoke:Demo|module|demo_module=RoundN|demo_module_func=N2|demo_template=Round2 |bold_winner=high |May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2 }}</syntaxhighlight>

Note: It will attempt to preserve line breaks for unnamed params, but such is impossible for named params since those are stripped of whitespace/order before being passed to the module. Also note, you should use |demo_sep= instead of |sep= (all args you don't want being passed should be prefixed with demo_ if not already)
