{{Template:Template link expanded }}
This template uses Lua :
This template, often abbreviated as {{Tlg }} , is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.
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 below for all alternate options.

No reason you can't combine multiple parameter settings. {{tlx |XCode|one}}
{{XCode |one}}
{{tlx |XCode|one|two}}
{{XCode |one|two}}
{{tlx |XCode|bold=on|code=on|one|two}}
{{XCode |one|two}}
Can combine named and positional/unnamed parameters without issue… {{tlx |XCode|one|two|bold=on|code=on}}
{{XCode |one|two}}
…in any order… {{tlx |XCode|one|code=on|two|bold=on|three}}
{{XCode |one|two|three}}
…even intermixed… {{tlx |XCode|one|code=on|two|bold=on|three|italic=on}}
{{XCode |one |two |three }}
…with many different configurations. {{tlx |XCode|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}
{{XCode |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}
{{tlx }}
tlx With no arguments, the current page name is substituted. {{tlx |XCode|x=u}}
{{XCode }}
Using = won't work. {{tlx |XCode|x=u}}
{{XCode |x=u}}
But =
works fine. {{tlx |XCode|x{{=}}u}}
{{XCode |x=u}}
The common shortcut {{=}}
is okay too. (See Template equal sign ) {{tlx |XCode|x<nowiki>=</nowiki>u}}
{{XCode |x=u}}
Sticky nowiki is okay, too. {{tlx |XCode||two||}}
{{XCode |two}}
Empty parameters work too, even at the end! {{tlx |XCode|3=two|2=one}}
{{XCode |one|two}}
Even right-to-left is A-okay.
