This is a meta-template that can be used to parse template parameters correctly. It acts similarly to an escape character.
Contents
Usage
This template allows the character =
to be used in template parameters.
Parameters
This template does not use any parameters.
Example
Consider the following code using an ordinary pipe character in the {{QuoteBox}}
template:
{{QuoteBox|This is a sentence containing the character: =, which will normally be parsed as a parameter assignment operator.|{{U|Jinbobo}}}}
produces:
— {{{author}}}
whereas using {{=}}
:
{{QuoteBox|This is a sentence containing the character: {{=}}, which will normally be parsed as a parameter assignment operator.|{{U|Jinbobo}}}}
produces:
“
”
This is a sentence containing the character: =, which will normally be parsed as a parameter assignment operator.
the restriction can also be bypassed with named parameters:
{{QuoteBox|1=This is a sentence containing the character: =, which will normally be parsed as a parameter assignment operator.|2={{U|Jinbobo}}}}
produces:
“
”
This is a sentence containing the character: =, which will normally be parsed as a parameter assignment operator.
