Template:((

[] Template documentation

This is a documentation subpage for Template:((.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template can be used in place of a literal "{{" when the latter would be interpreted as a syntactic marker.

For example, {{((}} gives "{{".

Example

Suppose you were using the {{EmphasisBox}} template and wanted to use "{{" in it:

{{EmphasisBox|It is not possible to directly use "{{" in a page as it will be interpreted as a syntactical marker.}}

Here is the result you would get, which does not work properly because the "{{" would be interpreted as a syntactical marker:

{{EmphasisBox|It is not possible to directly use "Template:" in a page as it will be interpreted as a syntactical marker.

However, if you use the {{((}} template, then it will display correctly:

{{EmphasisBox|It is not possible to directly use "{{((}}" in a page as it will be interpreted as a syntactical marker.}}

Result:

It is not possible to directly use "{{" in a page as it will be interpreted as a syntactical marker.
