This is a meta-template that can be used to parse template parameters correctly. It acts similarly to an escape character.

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:

“

”

Jinbobo

— {{{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.

— Jinbobo

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.

— Jinbobo
