User:Sardanaphalus/Template:Parameter descriptions/old/doc

This is a documentation subpage for User:Sardanaphalus/Template:Parameter descriptions/old.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original user template page.

{{tl|Parameter descriptions}} may be used to add a list of parameters and their descriptions – and, if one of its variants {{tla|Parameter descriptions/with examples|.../with examples}}, {{tla|Parameter descriptions/with defaults|.../with defaults}} or {{tla|Parameter descriptions/full|.../full}} is used, with examples and/or defaults – to template documentation. An example of the kind of output it can produce appears in the "Customization" section below, where {{Parameter descriptions/with examples}} is used to list these templates' own named parameters.

Note: Vertical-bar characters ("pipes", " | ") and equals-sign characters (equalities, " = ") within parameter values need to be represented by, respectively, the magic word {{!}} and template {{=}}, or placed between <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags (e.g. <nowiki>|one |two=value</nowiki>).

Syntax

{{Parameter descriptions
| (parameter name) | (description)
| (parameter name) | (description)
......
}}

[By default,] those values given as parameter names – i.e. those appearing in the list's first column – are displayed in monospace and without line/word-wrapping ... (i.e. should more than one line be required, formatting such as <br/> [will need] to be used) ... [alternatively, col1style]

For descriptions accompanied by examples, use the lefthand syntax below; if accompanied by default settings, use the righthand syntax:

{{Parameter descriptions/with examples
| (parameter name) | (description) | (example/s)
| (parameter name) | (description) | (example/s)
......
}}

...... or ......

{{Parameter descriptions/with defaults
| (parameter name) | (description) | (default/s)
| (parameter name) | (description) | (default/s)
......

}}

For descriptions accompanied by both examples and defaults, use:

{{Parameter descriptions/full
| (parameter name) | (description) | (example/s) | (default/s)
| (parameter name) | (description) | (example/s) | (default/s)
......
}}
