This document transclude from Template:Documentation/doc.
Description
This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.
Syntax
Add <noinclude>{{documentation}}</noinclude>
or <noinclude>{{doc}}</noinclude> at the end of the template page.
- If
notoc=1, the catalogue will not be displayed. - Use
toc=will set the alignment of the catalogue.
Usage
On the Template page
This is the normal format when used:
TEMPLATE CODE<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly><noinclude>
{{doc}}</noinclude>
If your template is not a completed div or table, you may need to close the tags just before {{doc}} is inserted (within the noinclude tags).
A line break right before {{doc}} can also be useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.
On the Template/doc page
Normally, you will want to write something like the following on the documentation page:
==Description==
This template is used to do something.
==Syntax==
Type <code>{{tl|templatename}}</code> somewhere.
==Samples==
<code><nowiki>{{templatename|input}}</nowiki></code>
results in...
{{templatename|input}}
<includeonly>Any categories for the template itself</includeonly><noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
Use any or all of the above description/syntax/sample output sections. You may also want to add "see also" or other sections.
