{{Template:Template link with bold}}
 | This template usesLua: |
This template, often abbreviated as{{tlb}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline.
With the exception ofalttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; seethe main table for all alternate options. If a row renders identically to a previous row, it means the current template does not support that option and{{tlg}} needs to be used instead.
