Documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Bracket/doc. (view | edit | history)

This template provides a way to wrap wiki markup, or plain text, in (single) square brackets. More importantly, it helps to keep the markup free of line noise and thus easier to edit.

Usage

• {{bracket|[[Wikipedia:Example]]}} → [Wikipedia:Example]
• {{bracket|[[Hernals |17th district of Vienna {{bracket | Austria}}]]}} → [17th district of Vienna [Austria]]
• {{bracket|Plain text}} → [Plain text]
• {{bracket}} → [

Function

This template is a simple wrapper around the [ and ] HTML entities that produce starting and ending brackets, respectively.

The template cannot output just an ending bracket. You will have to use ] to produce the "]" ending bracket.

This template is not necessary in Citation Style 1 templates. You can simply use square brackets, and they will be treated as ordinary text (and not wiki markup) when it constructs links.
