Template:Documentation/doc

Purpose

This template is used to insert descriptions on template pages.

Usage

On the Template page

<includeonly> Template code... Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template..</includeonly><noinclude> Template's categories.. {{documentation}}
</noinclude>

Note that, depending on the template, you may need to add a clear or complete a table/div just before {{documentation}} is inserted (within the noinclude tags).

The line break is also useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.
