Template:Pipe escape

Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template allows you to escape multiple pipes within a template without the need to call {{!}} many times, thereby simplifying the markup. The main usage of this template is creating tables in the parameters of templates, such as the content parameter of start-documentation-end.

This template should not be used if only a few usages of {{!}} are required, as the other template is more efficient.

Usage

This template returns all the unnamed parameters separated by pipes, effectively "escaping" the pipes. Note that since = determines a parameter, all usages of = must be escaped using start-=-end.

This template trims white space from the beginning of the first parameter, and the end of the last parameter.

Example

{{quote|{{pipe escape|
{| class{{=}}"wikitable"
! Header
! Second header
|-
| Row
| Second column row
|-
| Second row
| Second column second row
|}
}}|Some guy who speaks in tables}}

produces

Header	Second header
Row	Second column row
Second row	Second column second row

— Some guy who speaks in tables
