Template:Param value
value
This template is used on approximately 142,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Provides a lightly bordered box to highlight param values on Template documentation pages. Especially useful in cases where values may have leading or trailing blanks, or multiple embedded blanks.
Usage
{{param value|value}}
Parameters
There is one required positional parameter for the value, and four optional params: three for styling the display, and one replacement parameter for dealing with how to render a blank space:
|1=
– the value to be highlighted; required (no default)|border=
– may be used to set border attributes. default:thin solid #caa
. Alias:|b=
.|bg-color=
– may be used to set background-color. default:white
. Alias:|bg=
.|style=
– may be used to set any CSS style attributes, with one or more semicolon-separatedattribute:value
pairs. default:none.|space=
– may be used to make spaces visible. Alias:|sp=
. See #Making spaces visible below.
Note on special characters: if the value to be highlighted contains an equal sign, it must be escaped: use {{=}}
instead of a bare equal sign character.

Making spaces visible
You may make space characters visible by replacing them with any character you choose using param |space=
. Here are some characters that have been historically used for this purpose. In these examples, there are two spaces between one and two:
- Space symbol – (U+2420 = ␠ ) :
{{param value|one two|space=␠}}
⟶one␠␠two
- Blank symbol – (U+2422= ␢ ) :
{{pvalue|one two|space=␢}}
⟶one␢␢two
- Blank symbol– (smaller: ␢) :
{{pvalue|one two|space=<small>␢</small>}}
⟶one␢␢two
- Middot – (U+00B7= · ) :
{{pval|one two|space=·}}
⟶one··two
- Underbracket – (U+23B5 = ⎵ ) :
{{pval|one two|space=⎵}}
⟶one⎵⎵two
- White rectangle – (U+25AF= ▯ ) :
{{pval|one two|space=▯}}
⟶one▯▯two
- Undertie – (U+203F= ‿ ) :
{{pval|one two|space=‿}}
⟶one‿‿two
