Template:Braces

This template returns the first unnamed parameter in double braces. To be used to demonstrate template code without the need for clunky nowiki'ing. Further unnamed parameters (up to 8 more) can be used without worrying for pipes.
Set code=on / code=true / etc. to switch the font used to the HTML <code>-style monospaced font.
To improve legibility, {{thin space}}s are inserted either side of any pipe characters (" | ") displayed by the template.
To ensure equals-signs are handled as text by the template, use {{=}} to produce them – e.g. {{braces|Templatename|p1{{=}}v1|p2{{=}}v2|...}} (and see examples below).

Function

The template cannot output just the starting double braces or just the ending double braces. You will have to write {{ or }}. Or you could use Template:( and Template:).

Markup	Output
{{braces\|Templatename\|item1\|item2}}	{{Templatename \| item1 \| item2}}
{{braces\|code=on \|Templatename\|item1\|item2}}	`{{Templatename \| item1 \| item2}}`
{{braces \|Templatename\|item1{{=}}XYZ\|item2{{=}}PQR}}	{{Templatename \| item1=XYZ \| item2=PQR}}
{{braces\|code=on \|Templatename\|item1{{=}}XYZ\|item2{{=}}PQR}}	`{{Templatename \| item1=XYZ \| item2=PQR}}`

Note that omitting the double-braces around the equals signs in the last two examples does not work as intended:

Markup	Output
{{braces \|Templatename\|item1=XYZ\|item2=PQR}}	{{Templatename}}
{{braces \|code=on \|Templatename\|item1=XYZ\|item2=PQR}}	`{{Templatename}}`

Markup	Output
{{braces\|Templatename\|item1\|item2}}	{{Templatename \| item1 \| item2}}
{{braces\|code=on \|Templatename\|item1\|item2}}	`{{Templatename \| item1 \| item2}}`
{{braces \|Templatename\|item1{{=}}XYZ\|item2{{=}}PQR}}	{{Templatename \| item1=XYZ \| item2=PQR}}
{{braces\|code=on \|Templatename\|item1{{=}}XYZ\|item2{{=}}PQR}}	`{{Templatename \| item1=XYZ \| item2=PQR}}`
