en>Vanisaac: clean up per WP:CAT#T and WP:AWBREQ add template:Sandbox other

clean up per WP:CAT#T and WP:AWBREQ add template:Sandbox other

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}
{{lua|Module:Separated entries}}

{{lt|mlx}} is used to display a module name as a link surrounded by braces with the {{((}}#invoke{{))}} [[WP:PF|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 ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Code
! Result
! Notes
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{mlx|Example}}</nowiki></code>
| {{mlx|Example}}
| Usage without function name. This does not produce a usable invocation.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{mlx|Example|hello}}</nowiki></code>
| {{mlx|Example|hello}}
| Usage with a function name.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{mlx|Example|count_fruits|4=bananas=5|5=apples=10}}</nowiki></code>
| {{mlx|Example|count_fruits|4=bananas=5|5=apples=10}}
| Usage with a function name and parameters.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{mlx|Example|count_fruits|bananas{{=}}5|apples{{=}}10}}</nowiki></code>
| {{mlx|Example|count_fruits|bananas{{=}}5|apples{{=}}10}}
| Usage with a function name and parameters, using {{((}}={{))}}.
|}
