Editing Help:Template (section)

=== Named Variables ===
Unlike the ToDo list above where all the parameters are things to do, most templates that use parameters give each one an explicit name. This is needed when the parameters are formatted differently or put in particular locations.

An example would be a business card template. The phone number, address, name, etc all go in particular locations and so the template needs to know which parameter is the name, which is the address, etc.

For example:

<pre>
{{Business Card
| Name = Martine Strathelar
| Address = 100 Planar Drive, Dereth
| Business = Temporal Translocations
| Phone Number = (555)555-1212
}}
</pre>

which using the hypothetical Business Card template might be displayed as:

<blockquote class="toccolours" style="float:none; padding: 10px 15px 10px 15px; display:table;"><br><big><center>'''''Martine Strathelar'''''</center></big><br><center>'''Temporal Translocations'''</center><br>100 Planar Drive, Dereth - (555)555-1212</blockquote>
