Template:Elc/doc References

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Elc.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This formats an example wikilink to show how it would be entered in wiki markup. The first parameter is the link destination. E.g. {{elc|Cookie}} renders as [[Cookie]], the wiki markup for the wikilink Cookie. If a second parameter is given, a piped link is shown. E.g. {{elc|Cookie|Biscuit}} renders as [[Cookie|Biscuit]], the markup for the wikilink Biscuit.

A third parameter, if supplied, is included as a suffix to demonstrate blended links; {{elc|Cookie||s}} produces [[Cookie]]s, the wiki markup for Cookies.

The short name {{elc}} ("example link, code") is chosen to be similar to the {{ tlc}} template which produces similar output, but for template links.

Templates producing specialised formatting effects for given templates, modules or parameters
Code example	Effect	Notes
`{{ Tj\|Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref: yes\|category: no\|lang: fr}}`	{{ Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }}	Supports colors, placeholder texts, named and unnamed parameters
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> {{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }} </syntaxhighlight>	{{Hatnote \| Some text \| selfref = yes \| category = no \| lang = fr }}	Same as above
`{{ Tji\|Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref: yes\|category: no\|lang: fr}}`	{{ Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}	Supports colors, placeholder texts, named and unnamed parameters
`< syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}</syntaxhighlight>`	`{{Hatnote\|Some text\|selfref=yes\|category=no\|lang=fr}}`	Same as above
`{{ tl2\|Hatnote\|lang=fr}}`	`{{ hatnote}}`	Supports linking to sister projects (e.g., fr:Hatnote)
`{{ demo\|<nowiki>{{Hatnote\|lang=fr\|Some text}}</nowiki>}}`	{{hatnote\|lang=fr\|Some text}} Some text	Shows code and example
`{{ tln\|Hatnote}}`	Template:Hatnote	Produces a normal link to the template
`{{ elc\|Template:Hatnote}}` `{{ elc\|Template:Hatnote\|Hatnote}}`	`[[Template:Hatnote]]` `[[Template:Hatnote\|Hatnote]]`	Formats wikilink, with optional piped link text and blended suffix
`{{ ml\|Example\|hello}}`	{{ #invoke:Example\|hello}}	Counterpart to {{ tl}} for linking to Lua modules
`{{ mfl\|Example\|hello}}`	{{ #invoke:Example\| hello}}	Similar to {{ ml}}, but expects the function to be documented and creates a link to the corresponding section
`{{ mlx\|Example\|hello}}`	`{{ #invoke:Example\|hello}}`	Counterpart to {{ tlx}} for linking to Lua modules
`{{ ml-lua\|Module:Example\|hello}}`	`require('Module:Example')`	Link to Lua modules and built-in libraries, showing Lua code.
`{{ para\|title\|<var>book title</var>}}`	`\|title=book title`	Formats template parameters for display, with or without values
`{{ sclx\|LASTING}}`	`[[ WP:LASTING]]`	Takes a shortcut suffix in project namespace and displays it with brackets and the WP: alias in a `<code>...</code>` tag.
`{{ tag\|ref}}` `{{ xtag\|templatedata}}`	`<ref>...</ref>` `< templatedata>`	Formats [X]HTML tags; can add content, choose opening, closing, or self-closing
`{{ dtl\|Ping project}}`	{{ d:Ping project}}	Wikidata counterpart to {{ tl}}
`{{ pf\|if}}` `{{ pf\|if\|{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}`	{{ #if}} {{ #if:{{{1}}}\|true\|false}}	Parser function equivalent to {{ tl}}
`{{ magic word\|uc:}}`	{{ uc:}}	Magic word links
