Template:Mlx/doc

Template:Tsh

Template:Lt (often abbreviated {{mlx}}) is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the Template:((#invokeTemplate:)) parser function, thus showing the module name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a module by name without invoking it. It is also supports the definition of a function and parameters.

Examples

Code	Result	Notes
Template:Tji	{{#invoke:Example|function}}	Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
Template:Tji	{{#invoke:Example|hello}}	Usage with a function name.
Template:Tji	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}}	Usage with a function name and parameters.
Template:Tji	{{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}}	Usage with a function name and parameters, using Template:((=Template:)).
