{{tlc}}

This template uses Lua:

Module:Template link general

This template, often abbreviated as {{tlc}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.

Parameters ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

Parameter	Action	Use with {{example}}	Default active
brace	Include braces as part of the template link	{{example}}	{{tlw}}/{{tn}}
braceinside	Include innermost braces as part of the template link	{{example}}
bold	Renders the template link/name in bold	{{example}}	{{tlb}}, {{tlxb}}
code	Display output using HTML `<code>...</code>` tags (monospaced font)	`{{example}}`	{{tlc}}, {{Template link expanded}}, etc.
italic	Display any parameters accompanying the template link/name in italics	{{example\|param}}	{{tlxi}}
kbd	Display output using HTML `<kbd>...</kbd>` tags (monospaced font)	`{{example}}`

Examples ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ

Note: On the source sister projects, en.wikipedia and Meta, X0, X1, X2, …, X9 are sandbox templates for experimentation on involved templates that need be in template space. An auto-cleansing software facility exists that might be used to duplicate the facility on other Sister projects.

Wrapping of long names (`nowrap=on`)
