Template:Demo
![]() | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
This template simply places template code in a <pre>...</pre>
tag and then places the template below the pre tag.
{{demo |br = |demo_kill_categories = |<nowiki>{{your template}}</nowiki> }}
IMPORTANT: You must wrap include <nowiki>...</nowiki>
tags around the source to be demonstrated (or use {{escape}}, which has a demo-escape example), like so:
{{demo|<nowiki>[template source]</nowiki>}}
- Failure to wrap
<nowiki>...</nowiki>
tags around the source may cause the source to be executed before it reaches this template:✗ Fail
✗ Fail
Pre style
Set style=
to add any CSS text to the <pre>...</pre>
tag.
For example, {{demo|style=display:inline|<nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}
, would result in:
{{done}}

Line breaks
You can change the number of line breaks between the pre tag and the template by setting br=
to a number. The default is 1.
{{demo|br=3|<nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}
{{done}}

Alternative separator
You may also include an alternative separator by setting |br=
to something other than a number and it will take the place of the br tags. For example, |br=<td>
can make demo fit in a table:
{{done}} | ![]() |
Category removal
For templates that add categories (e.g. {{Asbox}}), set |demo_kill_categories=
(or |nocat=
) to anything to prevent them from showing up in the output:
{{Asbox | image = Østfold_våpen.svg | pix = 30 | subject = [[Østfold]] location | name = Template:Østfold-geo-stub | category = Østfold geography stubs | tempsort = * }}produces:
Module
If the template used is based on Lua, you can pass args directly to the demonstrated module by invoking Module:Demo like so: (this would reduce server stress)
{{#invoke:Demo|module|demo_br=0| demo_module=RoundN | demo_module_func = N2|demo_template = Round2 |bold_winner=high |May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2 }}
{{Round2 |bold_winner=high |May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2 }}
Final | ||
May 1 | ||
Team A | 1 | |
Team B | 2 | |
Note: It will attempt to preserve line breaks for unnamed params, but such is impossible for named params since those are stripped of whitespace/order before being passed to the module. Also note, you should use |demo_br=
instead of |br=
(all args you don't want being passed should be prefixed with 'demo_' if not already)
