Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
This template, often abbreviated as {{tlf}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself.
Parameters
With the exception of Template:Mono, 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; see the main table for all alternate options.
