Template:Tn/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tn.
It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used similarly to {{tl}}, to show the name of a template with the open and close braces around it. But this macro makes the inner braces part of the link, whereas {{tl}} does not make the braces part of the link. This is to allow shorter template names to be easier to click on. The "Tn" name is short for Template name.

Usage[edit]
