Template:1x/doc

Usage

Echo the first argument to the template through the rendering engine.

This is occasionally useful as a metatemplate. For example:

• To break up certain constructs that otherwise have special meaning in wikitext.
  • {{1x|~~}}{{1x|~~}} → ~~~~
• To strip white space from a template parameter.
  • a{{{1| x }}}b → a x b
  • a{{1x|1= {{{1| x }}} }}b → axb
• To conditionally hide or show some content by choosing which template takes a parameter.
  • {{ {{#if: {{{x}}} | 2x | 1x }} | hello }} → hello hello
  • {{ {{#if: {{{x}}} | void | 1x }} | hello }} →
