Template:IF/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:IF. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:IF}}. |
Usage
[edit]Usage of this template is moderately simple.
To use, place {{subst:IF|1}}Why?.
This will produce:
{{#if:{{{1|}}}|{{{1}}}}}
Why
[edit]- A "subst:" must be put at the beginning
- Transclusion shows exactly what is seen on the template page, meaning the dead code used for subst won't become active; this means you'll have broken code, and therefore you wasted your time; you MUST put a subst so it can re-integrate the code and activate the subst tags within the original code, this is what makes this template possible.
- The first parameter must be a number (1-infinity)
- this is what generates the new unnamed parameter.
The second parameter must be a lowercase t.
- Thanks to my latest coding patch, this parameter is no longer required

[edit]- Template:If - Not to be confused with if, which serves a different purpose.
