{{Sm|Something}} | Something | ||

! / !! | Creates a pipe (|) or two (| |).
I doubt the average wiki editor would need these, but it's necessary if you're creating advanced templates using the if parser function. {{!}} has to be placed within those functions instead of regular pipes. I'm not sure why {{!!}} is needed, but including it here anyways. |
{{!}} {{!!}} |
| | | |
- | Functions the same as <br style="clear:both;" />. "Clears" both margins. It is often used before a header to make sure that the header will be the full width of the page. | {{-}} | See the template page for examples. |
