Help:ExpandTemplates/zh

ExpandTemplates allows for recursive expansion of templates, parser functions and variables.

The page Special:ExpandTemplates has two input boxes, one to enter wikitext, and another one to enter a pagename. It produces in the "Result" window the expanded wikitext, i.e., templates, parser functions and variables are expanded recursively; variables depending on pagename are expanded based on the supplied pagename. This is an intermediate result before a page is rendered after saving or pressing "Preview" (or the resulting wikitext is submitted to other processing), helpful in understanding and debugging wikitext expansion. It does not support substitution (a separate expansion process [ pre-save transformation] is carried out after entering wikitext in an edit window and pressing "Show preview" or "Save", but before regular parsing; the resulting wikitext can be inspected in an arbitrary edit window by pressing "Show changes", or by saving a test page and reopening the edit window). If you need to use substitution, use the parse API instead of the ExpandTemplates API and enable pre-save transformations [to do this, set  to  ].

In addition there is a preview area. However, this shows the rendered result of expanding the expanded wikitext again. Although the result is usually the same as after single expansion, it can be different if the first expansion produces braces.

The magic word '!' provides a way to allow "|" in a parameter value of a template or parser function, in particular for use in table syntax. This template can be used with ExpandTemplates to perform partial expansion/substitution.

The table, using, shows that a call with a parameter separator "|" in the form | prevents ordinary expansion; the last column shows the preview area (with the result of double expansion).

Remove comments
The "Remove comments" option selects whether comments are removed, not just in the final result but throughout the expansion process. This affects the result of parser functions: a comment in the expression of #expr or #ifexpr gives an error message unless "Remove comments" is on, and comments affect #if and ifeq.

XML parse tree
Optionally the XML parse tree (the XML DOM representation of the wikitext, also called document tree or DOM tree) is shown (see also ). 例如：

a b|c 2024

gives

Thus:
 * The result shows a stage in processing before actual evaluation. Thus even names of variables, parser functions, and templates have not been determined. Also, the colon and "#" are not detected yet, so no distinction is made between variables, parser functions, and templates, let alone that there would be distinction between existing and non-existing variables, parser functions, and templates. Therefore:
 * Distinction is made between parameter items with and without "=", even though for some items of some parser functions it is treated as plain text after all.
 * "|a=b|a=c" is not reduced yet to "|a=c" because the fact that the left sides are equal is only known after their evaluation, and also because this reduction depends on the evaluation of title. For example, for titles of the form .., "|a=b|a=c" is equivalent to "|a=b" after all.
 * A pair of double rectangular brackets shields "|" from being interpreted as a parameter separator, but links are not shown separately in the tree.

Input text in URL
The wikitext serving as input can also be put in the URL, e.g., using urlencode,  gives. , using &lcub;&lcub;!&rcub;&rcub;, prevents the template texpr from expanding in the URL, and also prevents "|" from being interpreted as a separator of the parameter of urlencode from a dummy second parameter. It can also be used in a template call without parameters, albeit that in the input box of ExpandTemplates this becomes a template with unnamed parameter being the empty string instead of undefined; e.g.. This does not work for variables and parser functions, use percent codes for one pair of braces instead (see wikitext); for the ParserFunctions prefix "#" use %23:

Query parameters
URL:
 * wpContextTitle=pagetitle
 * wpGenerateRawHtml=true
 * wpGenerateXml=true
 * wpInput=
 * wpRemoveComments=true
 * wpRemoveNowiki=true

Customizing
By default the width of the input and result box is only 11 characters. You may want to change this to full width by adding something like the following to your CSS:
 * Adjusting the box width
