  • This template returns the first unnamed parameter in double braces. To be used to demonstrate template code without the need for clunky nowiki'ing. Further unnamed parameters (up to 8 more) can be used without worrying for pipes.
  • An alternative is to use &#123;{some text}&#125;.
  • Set Page Template:Mono/styles.css must have content model "Sanitized CSS" for TemplateStyles (current model is "wikitext").code=on / Page Template:Mono/styles.css must have content model "Sanitized CSS" for TemplateStyles (current model is "wikitext").code=true / etc. to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
  • To improve legibility, {{thinsp}}aces are inserted either side of any pipe characters ("| ") displayed by the template.
  • To ensure equals-signs are handled as text by the template, use {{=}} to produce them – e.g. {{braces|Templatename|p1{{=}}v1|p2{{=}}v2|...}} (and see examples below).

Examples

Markup Renders as
{{braces|Templatename|item1|item2}}
{{Templatename|item1|item2}}
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1|item2}}
{{Templatename|item1|item2}}
{{braces |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}
{{Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}
{{Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}

Note that omitting the double-braces around the equals signs in the last two examples does not work as intended:

Markup Renders as
{{braces |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR}}
{{Templatename}}
{{braces|code=on |Templatename|item1{{=}}XYZ|item2{{=}}PQR}}
{{Templatename}}
