Template:Documentation subpage With this template #if can be used in a way such that it does not strip spaces and newlines from the "then" and "else" part. For evaluating the condition spaces and newlines are stripped like with ParserFunctions.
Contents
Usage
{{ifnotempty|x| p | q }}gives " p "{{ifnotempty|| p | q }}gives " q "
Compare:
{{#if:x| p | q }}gives "p"
Note that, unlike parser functions, templates require writing equals signs in values of unnamed parameters as {{=}}
For full substitution, simply use Template:Cnw or Template:Cnw. If the condition contains a parser function, template, or variable, that should be substituted too. Optionally the "then" or "else" part can also be substituted.
Expansion depth limit
13 levels allowed:
{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|a}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} gives a
{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|{{ifnotempty|x|a}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} gives {{safesubst:{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|p1|p2}}|a|}}
Internal technical details
For evaluating the condition the template uses the actual parser function; however, not directly with p and q, because this strips spaces and newlines from the result, but with index values 1 and 2. The result can be 1, 2. The template with the applicable name is called (Template:P1 or Template:P2), with as parameters p and q.
Conditions
#if:
Condition: string not empty.
