Template:Template link with linked braces/doc

This template is used similarly to Template:Tl to show the name of a template with the pairs of open and close braces around it. But this variant makes the inner braces part of the link, whereas Template:Tl does not make the braces part of the link. This is to allow easier clicking of very short template names. The "Tnlb" name is short for Template name with linked braces.

Usage edit

{{tnlb|template_name}}

Example with comparison edit

{{tnlb|!}} produces: Template:Template link with linked braces
{{tl|!}} produces: {{!}}
