[edit source]{{tlx}} displays with the same enhanced presentation, and also expands several 'placeholder' parameters to generate a sample template call.
Usage
[edit source] {{tl|Template name to display}}
and
{{tlx|Template name to display}} -- local link, just like tl.
or
{{tl|1==)}} -- use 1= where the template name contains an equals sign (as [[template:=)]] does).
