Template:Module link expanded

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to show example module usage without invoking the module itself.

Basic use

(Note: In the following examples, ellipses (groups of three dots) indicate where parameters have been omitted.)

{{mlx|Example|function|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|tenth}} produces:

{{#invoke:Example|function|first parameter|second parameter|third|...|tenth}}

Where parameters might contain one or more equals-signs ("="), replace each equals-sign with {{=}}:

{{mlx|Example|function|first{{=}}something|second|third{{=}}something|...|tenth}} produces:

{{#invoke:Example|function|first=something|second|third=something|...|tenth}}

For more than ten parameters, possibly also containing equals-signs, use <nowiki>...</nowiki> thus:

{{mlx|Example|function|<nowiki>''first''|''second''|''third=something''|...|''999th''</nowiki>}} produces:

{{#invoke:Example|function|first|second|third=something|...|999th}}

Examples

Code	Result	Notes
{{mlx|Example}}	{{#invoke:Example|function}}	Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
{{mlx|Example|hello}}	{{#invoke:Example|hello}}	Usage with a function name
{{mlx|Example|custom_fruit_2|Fred|4=pineapples=10|5=kiwis=5}}	{{#invoke:Example|custom_fruit_2|Fred|pineapples=10|kiwis=5}}	Usage with a function name and parameters
