This 模板 employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages.
You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here.
This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Codenowiki}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.
Ignore the code appearing above; it is not how the final result will display
This template provides a speedy way to wrap template source code in code>>nowiki>>...</nowiki></code> markup. To work correctly, it must be substituted.
Recommended use is:
{{subst:codenowiki |1=(code)}}
The 1= is often necessary so that that anything before an equals sign in the code isn't interpreted as a parameter name.
Example
{{subst:codenowiki |1=Here be code}} ... outputs: ... Here be code
The code produced by the template for this output is:
<code><nowiki>Here be code</nowiki></code>
Embedded substitution
If the template is transcluded rather than substituted on a page, its output can be corrected by re-saving the page, triggering the substitution embedded within it:
{{subst:Nowiki|Here be code}}
Limitations
This template does not work with signatures. Typing {{subst:codenowiki|~~~~}} results in displaying your full signature's code.
To indicate text is a variable name. Use for any variable names except those including "I" (uppercase i) and/or "l" (lowercase L); for these, {{var serif}} should be used to ensure a noticeable distinction
To display parameters as used in code (i.e. with triple braces), especially to indicate relationships between them. May be combined with {{para}} above
To display parameter values lightly bordered; replaces <code>...</code>, especially when value contains embedded or leading/trailing blanks; visualized here with middot (·) but can use ␠, ▯, or any character.
To showcase with colors in horizontal format the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
To indicate text is source code. To nest other templates within {{code}}, use code>>...</code>. {{codett}} differs only in styling: someMethod becomes someMethod
( or {{dc}}) To indicate deprecated source code in template documentation, articles on HTML specs, etc. The {{dc2}} variant uses strike-through (blink>>) while {{dcr}} uses red (blink>>).
To showcase with colors and multiple lines (vertical format) the syntax of any template, while providing an easy way to display placeholder texts using colons as separators
