Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a metatemplate intended to escape a character or group of characters in other templates that would otherwise be difficult to use with wikimarkup. The canonical example of this is the pipe character (|), which is heavily used in ParserFunctions. See wikipedia:Template:! for more information and examples.
