Template:Xpdnp/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Xpdnp.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This Template:Xpdnp (expansion demo with named parameters) shows the call of a template or switch and its result, for documentation. It works with up to 6 named parameters.

Examples

Examples, compared with equivalent calls of Template:Xpdoc, Template:Xpdopec, and Template:Xpdopepec:

{{xpdnp|tc}} gives: {{tc}} gives in [1]
{{xpdoc|tc}} gives: "{{tc}}" → "in" [2]

{{xpdnp|t np|1n=q|1v=s}} gives: {{t np|q=s}} gives psr [3]
{{xpdopec|t np|q|s}} gives: "{{t np|q=s}}" gives "psr" [4]

{{xpdnp|p|1n=|1v=q}} gives: {{p|=q}} gives q [5] (the empty string is used as parameter name)
{{xpdopec|p||q}} gives: "{{p|=q}}" gives "q" [6]

{{xpdnp|t np2|1n=q|1v=u|2n=s|2v=v}} gives: {{t np2|q=u|s=v}} gives purvt [7]
{{xpdopepec|t np2|q|u|s|v}} gives: "{{t np2|q=u|s=v}}" gives "purvt" [8]

{{xpdnp|#switch:q|1n=p|1v=u|2n=q|2v=v}} gives: {{#switch:q|p=u|q=v}} gives v [9]
{{xpdopepec|#switch:q|p|u|q|v}} gives: "{{#switch:q|p=u|q=v}}" gives "v" [10]
{{xpd5opepec||||||#switch:q|p|u|q|v}} gives: "{{#switch:q|p=u|q=v}}" gives "v" [11]

While the template works for templates without parameters it does not work properly for variables:

{{xpdnp|CURRENTTIME}} gives: {{CURRENTTIME}} gives Template:CURRENTTIME [12]

Therefore, for variables use Template:Xpdoc instead:

{{xpdoc|CURRENTTIME}} gives: "{{CURRENTTIME}}" → "04:35" [13]
