Template:P1/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:23, 3 August 2016

The templates P1, P2 and P3 simply return the first, second and third unnamed input parameter respectively. For example:

Template:Tlc returns foo
Template:Tlc returns bar
Template:Tlc returns Template:P3

These templates can be used inside other templates as an alternative to the Template:Pf parser function, to switch between outputs based on whether the input is "1", "2" or "3":

Template:Tlc

Using {{#switch}}, this syntax is equivalent to

Template:Tlc

except that the parser function strips whitespace between parameters whereas the templates don't.
