Please do not edit this page unless you're wanting to edit the manual itself, it is an example included in the manual.

Example

This example uses a surrogate (also known as phantom) template to format the second and third column of results. The first column is included in the listseparators statement, to prevent the page name from being repeated in every subsequent line. The second and third column, formatted in the surrogate, creates a link to the page's parameter name section, and then display the "purpose" text using Parser Functions. This combination of formatting the page name in a "separators" format statement and a surrogate template, results in templates used multiple times on a page to be separated into separate table rows under the parent page name (normally repeat templates used on a page are combined into a single row). This example is advanced, for more, simple examples of surrogate template use see include examples as related to including contents from templates, see the table and tablerow parameters for straightforward table examples. 

{{#dpl:
|category           = Primary Module
|nottitlematch	    = %volume%¦%page selection%
|uses               = Template:DPL Parameter
|include            = {dpl manual}:,{DPL parameter}.surrogateexample
|mode               = userformat
|listseparators     = ¶{¦class="wikitable sortable" ¶!colspan=3¦Includes a surrogate (phantom) template¶¦-¶!Page ¶!Name ¶!Purpose,¶¦-¶¦[[%PAGE%]]¶,¶¦-¶¦class="dpl-dark-background" colspan=3¦,¶¦}
|secseparators      = ,¶¦class="dpl-orange-background"¦,
|multisecseparators = ,¶¦-¶¦¶¦class="dpl-blue-background"¦
}}

Result
