Template:Demo
![]() | Uses Lua: |
This template simply places template code (or any other code) in a <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">…</syntaxhighlight>
tag and then places the rendering of that code below it. The template's skeleton is:
{{demo|<nowiki>{{your template}}</nowiki>}}
Template call (m for magic word) |
Output (delayed interpretation as wikimarkup) | HTML alternative (never interpreted as wikimarkup) | |
---|---|---|---|
{{!}} (m) |
| or {{pipe}} | ||
{{=}} (m) |
= | = | |
{{!!}} |
|| | ||
{{!(}} |
Template:!( | [ | |
{{)!}} |
Template:)! | ] | |
{{!((}} |
[[ | [[ | |

]] | ]] | |
{{(}} |
Template:( | { | |
{{)}} |
Template:) | } | |
{{((}} |
{{ | {{ | |
{{))}} |
}} | }} | |
{{(((}} |
Template:((( | {{{ | |
{{)))}} |
Template:))) | }}} | |
{{(!}} |
{| | {| | |
{{!+}} |
|+ | |+ | |
{{!-}} |
|- | |- | |
{{!)}} |
|} | |} |
IMPORTANT: Use escape templates (see the table on the right) to replace code so it is not parsed in the preprocessor or pre-save transform. Alternatively, wrap <nowiki>…</nowiki> tags around the code (or use {{escape}}, which has a demo-escape example). |
Failure to wrap <nowiki>…</nowiki>
tags around the source may cause the source to be executed before it reaches this template.
{{demo|{{fail}}}}
produces:
[[:Template:Fail]]
Pre style
Set |style=
to add any CSS text to the <pre>…</pre>
tag.
For example, {{demo|style=margin-left: 1.6em;|<nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}
will produce:
{{done}}
Separator
You can change the separator between the <syntaxhighlight>
and the template by setting the |sep=
parameter.
{{demo|sep=produces|<nowiki>{{done}}</nowiki>}}
{{done}}
You may use |sep=<td>
can make the demonstration fit in a table:
{{done}}
| Template:Done |
Instead of using |sep=
, you can also specify the number of line breaks between the code and the template in the |br=
parameter.
Reverse order
Use |reverse=1
to show the code snippet and the result in reverse order:
{{demo|reverse=1|<nowiki>{{tl|template}}</nowiki>}}
will produce
{{template}}{{tl|template}}
Category removal
For templates that add categories (e.g. {{Asbox}}), set |nocat=
(or |demo_kill_categories=
) 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 = *
}}
![]() | This Østfold location article is a stub. You can help TechInfoDepot by expanding it. |
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_module=RoundN|demo_module_func=N2|demo_template=Round2
|bold_winner=high
|May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2
}}
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:RoundN' not found.
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_sep=
instead of |sep=
(all args you don't want being passed should be prefixed with demo_
if not already)
