ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ:Tn/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ:Tn.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ page.

This template is used similarly to Template:Tl to show the name of a template with the pairs of open and close braces around it. But this variant makes the inner braces part of the link, whereas Template:Tl does not make the braces part of the link. This is to allow easier clicking of very short template names. The "Tn" name is short for Template name.

Usage

{{tn|template_name}}

Example with comparison

`{{tn\|!}}`	produces: {{!}}

General-purpose formatting

Comparison of template-linking templates according to their style
	Link style →	Linked	Unlinked	Linked with subst	Linked including braces	Linked with alternative text
Text style ↓	↓ `{{tlg}}` options¹ →	DEFAULT	`nolink=yes`	`subst=yes`	`braceinside=yes`	`alttext=Foo` `2=Foo`
normal	DEFAULT	`{{tlg}}`¹ `{{tl}}` `{{tlp}}`² `{{tlu}}`³ `{{tln}}`	`{{tlf}}`²	`{{tls}}` `{{tlsp}}`	`{{tn}}`	`{{tla}}`
`code`	`code=yes`	`{{tl2}}` `{{tlx}}` `{{tlxu}}`³	`{{tlc}}`² `{{tld}}`² `{{tnull}}`	`{{tlxs}}`	N/A
monospace `kbd`	`plaincode=yes`⁴ `kbd=yes`⁵	`{{tltt}}`⁵ `{{tltt2}}`⁵	N/A	`{{tltts}}`⁵ `{{tltts3}}`⁵ `{{tltss}}`⁶	N/A

¹ `{{tlg}}` is the most general, allowing any combination of text style and/or link style options. ² Prevents wrapping of text by placing it inside `<span class="nowrap">...</span>` tags. ³ Allows links to templates in any namespace. ⁴ `{{tlg\|plaincode=yes}}` uses `<code style="border:none; background-color:transparent;">...</code>`. ⁵ Displays monospaced font using `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (changed from `<tt>...</tt>` for HTML 5 compliance). ⁶ Displays monospaced font using `<span style="font-family:monospace;">...</span>`.
