Template:Module_link_expanded
Template:Module link expanded (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (often abbreviated {mlx}) is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the {#invoke} parser function, thus showing the module name as code rather than actually invoking it. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation where it is used to refer to a module by name without invoking it. It is also supports the definition of a function and parameters.
Examples
| Code | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
{mlx|Example}
|
{#invoke:Example|function}
|
Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation. |
{mlx|Example|hello}
|
{#invoke:Example|hello}
|
Usage with a function name. |
{mlx|Example|count_fruits|4=bananas=5|5=apples=10}
|
{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}
|
Usage with a function name and parameters. |
{mlx|Example|count_fruits|bananas{=}5|apples{=}10}
|
{#invoke:Example|count_fruits|bananas=5|apples=10}
|
Usage with a function name and parameters, using {=}. |
