Template:((
{
This is the {tl2} template.
{tl2} is similar to {tl}. Tl stands for Template link. {tl2} is a macro template used to display a template name as a link surrounded by braces, thus showing how the template name would be used in code. Its primary use is in instruction and documentation.
{tl2} differs from {tl} in that it displays with a wider, monospaced text style, like {tlx}, and also takes the named parameters 'sister=xx' and 'lang=ll', so that it may also be used to list and link to templates on other English and non-English language sister projects.
Related template
{tlx} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and in addition expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.
Usage
{Tl|template name to display}
and
{Tl2|template name to display} -- local link, just like Tl.
or
{Tl2|sister=V|template name to display} -- displays a template on Wikiversity
or
{Tl2|lang=fr|sister=wikisource|template name to display} -- displays a template
on the French Wikisource sister project.
