View source for Template:=

The expression {{code|<nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki>}} is used to insert a = character into a template or table where it would otherwise affect or break the formatting of the template/table instead of displaying the character. It is most likely to be used in conjunction with templates like {{T|Note}} or the {{T|Key}} template. See its documentation for further information.
{{Tip|Instead of having to "escape" every single occurrence of an equals sign with {{T|&#61;}} in an unnamed parameter of a template call, it may be easier to use the unnamed parameter like a named parameter.<br>
Both of the following deliver {{Code|1=if (i == 0) return count == 0;}}:
* {{T|Code|{{P|<nowiki>if (i {{=}}{{=}} 0) return count {{=}}{{=}} 0;</nowiki>}}}}
* {{T|Code|{{P|1|2=if (i == 0) return count == 0;}}}}
}}

{{Note|MediaWiki doesn't use this page. The wikitext {{code|<nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki>}} is no longer a template call but instead a magic word since [[mw:Help:Magic words#Escaped characters|MediaWiki 1.39]]. [[Special:Version|We're above that]] since 2024-11-28. Deleting this page would have no impact, except for new editors trying to search it and not finding the above information.}}
