Template:Sharp/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Sharp.
It contains usage information, categories and other content or metadata that is not part of the original template.

Usage

This template gives the sharp symbol #. Use {{Sharp}} when you need a sharp symbol # inside a template. It has no parameters.

Examples

• Works for CSS colors returned by {{#switch:}} or {{#if:}} or by templates:

  <span style="background:{{#if:1|{{Sharp}}F00}}">test</span> gives correctly:

  test

  <span style="background:{{#if:1|#F00}}">test</span> still gives correctly:

  test (it would not work if the color was returned by a template)

• Works for plain-text literal sharp symbols at start of lines or table cells:

  {{Sharp}}x gives correctly:

  #x

  But #x gives the unexpected numbered list:

  1. x

• Works for prefixing anchors in links:

  [[Template:Sharp{{#if:1|{{Sharp}}Examples}}|Examples]] gives correctly:

  Examples

  But [[Template:Sharp{{#if:1|#Examples}}|Examples]] gives the unexpected numbered list with a broken link:

  [[Template:Sharp

1. Examples|Examples]]
