Template:Tl/doc


The template link template is a simple macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. A short example is:

{{tl|KHUX}}
which generates
{{KHUX}}

More complex variations are described below.
