Template:Param value
value
Template documentationProvides a lightly bordered box to highlight param values on Template documentation pages. Especially useful in cases where values may have leading or trailing blanks, or multiple embedded blanks.
Usage
{{param value|value}}
Parameters
There is one required positional parameter for the value, and four optional params: three for styling the display, and one replacement parameter for dealing with how to render a blank space:
|1=Template:Sndthe value to be highlighted; required (no default)|border=Template:Sndmay be used to set border attributes. default:thin solid #caa. Alias:|b=.|bg-color=Template:Sndmay be used to set background-color. default:white. Alias:|bg=.|style=Template:Snd may be used to set any CSS style attributes, with one or more semicolon-separatedattribute:valuepairs. default:none.|space=Template:Snd may be used to make spaces visible. Alias:|sp=. See #Making spaces visible below.
Note on special characters: if the value to be highlighted contains an equal sign, it must be escaped: use {{=}} instead of a bare equal sign character.

Making spaces visible
You may make space characters visible by replacing them with any character you choose using param |space=. Here are some characters that have been historically used for this purpose. In these examples, there are two spaces between one and two:
- Space symbolTemplate:Snd(U+2420 = ␠ ) :
{{param value|one two|space=␠}}⟶one␠␠two - Blank symbolTemplate:Snd(U+2422 = ␢ ) :
{{pvalue|one two|space=␢}}⟶one␢␢two- Blank symbolTemplate:Snd (smaller: ␢) :
{{pvalue|one two|space=<small>␢</small>}}⟶one␢␢two
- Blank symbolTemplate:Snd (smaller: ␢) :
- MiddotTemplate:Snd(U+00B7 = · ) :
{{pval|one two|space=·}}⟶one··two - UnderbracketTemplate:Snd(U+23B5 = ⎵ ) :
{{pval|one two|space=⎵}}⟶one⎵⎵two - White rectangleTemplate:Snd(U+25AF = ▯ ) :
{{pval|one two|space=▯}}⟶one▯▯two - UndertieTemplate:Snd(U+203F = ‿ ) :
