Template:Tlr Provides a lightly bordered box to highlight param values on Template documentation pages. Especially useful in cases where values may have leading or trailing blanks, or multiple embedded blanks.

Usage

{{param value|value}}

Parameters

There is one required positional parameter for the value, and four optional params: three for styling the display, and one replacement parameter for dealing with how to render a blank space:

|1=Template:Sndthe value to be highlighted; required (no default)
|border=Template:Sndmay be used to set border attributes. default: thin solid #caa. Alias: |b=.
|bg-color=Template:Sndmay be used to set background-color. default: white. Alias: |bg=.
|style=Template:Snd may be used to set any CSS style attributes, with one or more semicolon-separated Template:Pval pairs. default:none.
|space=Template:Snd may be used to make spaces visible. Alias: |sp=. See #Making spaces visible below.

Note on special characters: if the value to be highlighted contains an equal sign, it must be escaped: use {{=}} instead of a bare equal sign character.

Examples

  • {{param value|2blanks between}} yields: 2blanks  between
  • {{param value|2blanks between|space=·}} yields: 2blanks··between
  • {{param value| * : # }} yields:   * : # 
  • {{param value| * : # |border=2px dashed khaki}} yields:   * : # 
  • {{param value|white|bg=yellow}} yields: white
  • {{pvalue|thin solid #caa|bg=#f5fcf9}} yields: Template:Pvalue
  • {{pval|* #|border=thin dashed purple|bg=#ffe6e6|style=border-radius:5px|space=␠}} yields: Template:Pval

Making spaces visible

You may make space characters visible by replacing them with any character you choose using param |space=. Here are some characters that have been historically used for this purpose. In these examples, there are two spaces between one and two:
