This is a documentation subpage for Template:Braces. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

• 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.
• Set code=on / code=true / etc. to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
• To improve legibility, ((thin space))s 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).

Function

• This template wraps the HTML entities {{ and }}.

Limitations

• The template cannot output just the starting double braces or just the ending double braces. You will have to write {{ or }}. Or you could use Template:( and Template:).

Examples

((braces|Templatename|item1|item2))

((braces|code=on |Templatename|item1|item2))

((braces |Templatename|item1((=))XYZ|item2((=))PQR))

((braces|code=on |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:

((braces |Templatename|item1=XYZ|item2=PQR))

((braces|code=on |Templatename|item1((=))XYZ|item2((=))PQR))
