Template:para/documentation

Usage
This template simply displays a parameter name between a vertical line and an equal sign, as is seen in template calls. (This is useful in template documentation and in talk page discussions of templates.)

To display a parameter name surrounded by (as would appear in template code), use.

Parameters
This template takes the following parameters:
 * 1: the name of the parameter
 * 2: a corresponding value for the parameter
 * 3: additional usage text
 * 1: indicate that the parameter is required
 * 1: indicate that the parameter is optional

Examples

 * Result: name
 * Result: name
 * Result: name
 * Result: 1
 * Result: book title
 * Result: section. This is useful for referring to values of unnamed parameters; note the empty first parameter in the template call.
 * Result: value
 * Result: foo
 * Result: 2
 * Result: book title
 * Result: section. This is useful for referring to values of unnamed parameters; note the empty first parameter in the template call.

 * Result: 2

When using literal, pre-specified values, simply provide the value (appearance as in example 6). When illustrating hypothetical, variable or user-definable values, use  (appearance as in example 5), and the same should be done for non-literal, example parameters (as in example 7).
