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.
