__NOTOC__

== Purpose and naming ==
This template, abbreviated as {{tl|tlb}}, is used to provide a {{code|bold}} formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline.

=== Basic operation ===
Here is how this template looks. Code is to the left; actual rendering to the right:

: {{tji|tlb|name|parameters}} {{Rarr}} {{tlb|name|parameters}}

=== Usage ===
{{tji|Tlb|Template|first_parameter|second|third|fourth|...|eighth}} {{Rarr}} {{Tlb|Template|first_parameter|second|third|fourth|fifth|sixth|seventh|eighth}}

=== Examples ===
{| class="wikitable"

| Shows its own syntax.
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name}}
| {{tlb|name}}
| 
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name|one}}
| {{tlb|name|one}}
| 
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name|one|two}}
| {{tlb|name|one|two}}
| 
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}
| {{tlb|name|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10}}
| Ten parameters
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name|||three|four}}
| {{tlb|name|||three|four}}
| Empty parameters are discared.
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name|one{{=}}a|two{{=}}b}}
| {{tlb|name|one=a|two=b}}
| The use of equal signs is a problem, but there is a fix; see next row.
|-
| {{tji|tlb|name|one{{((}}{{=}}{{))}}a|two{{((}}{{=}}{{))}}b}}
| {{tlb|name|one{{=}}a|two{{=}}b}}
| Use <code><nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki></code> in place of an equal sign, so that it gets rendered properly.
