This template 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.
{{demo|<nowiki>{{your template}}</nowiki>}}
IMPORTANT: You must wrap <nowiki>...</nowiki>
tags around the source to be demonstrated (or use {{escape}}, which has a demo-escape example), like so:
{{demo|<nowiki>[template source]</nowiki>}}
Failure to wrap <nowiki>...</nowiki>
tags around the source may cause the source to be executed before it reaches this template.
{{demo|{{fail}}}}
produces:
<big style="color:#DF0A24; font-size:1.4em;">✗</big> '''Fail'''
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}}
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}}
| Done |
Instead of using |sep=
, you can also specify the number of line breaks between the code and the template in the |br=
parameter.
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}}
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 = *
}}
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
}}
{{Round2
|bold_winner=high
|May 1|Team A|1|Team B|2
}}
Final | ||
May 1 | ||
Team A | 1 | |
Team B | 2 | |
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)
