<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Purpose ==<br />
Use <code><nowiki>{{Placeholder|...}}</nowiki></code> when needing to indicate a variable or value using angle brackets without triggering HTML parsing.<br />
<br />
Do not type raw <code>&lt;angle brackets&gt;</code> in prose wikitext. This template renders a visible placeholder token and avoids accidental HTML parsing.<br />
<br />
== Parameters ==<br />
* <code>1</code> (positional): placeholder text.<br />
* <code>text=</code> (named): same as <code>1</code>.<br />
<br />
If both are present, <code>text=</code> is used.<br />
<br />
== Basic usage ==<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{Placeholder|your-subnet}}</nowiki></code><br />
* <code><nowiki>{{Placeholder|text=your-subnet}}</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
=== Sentence ===<br />
Request a route object for {{Placeholder|your-subnet}} before announcing it.<br />
<br />
=== Bulleted list ===<br />
* ASN: {{Placeholder|your-asn}}<br />
* Prefix: {{Placeholder|your-subnet}}<br />
* Contact: {{Placeholder|noc-email}}<br />
<br />
=== Table ===<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Field<br />
! Value to supply<br />
|-<br />
| Tunnel name<br />
| {{Placeholder|your-tunnel-name}}<br />
|-<br />
| Endpoint hostname<br />
| {{Placeholder|region-node.example.org}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Conventions ==<br />
* Prefer lowercase tokens in prose placeholders.<br />
* Use hyphens between words (for example, <code>your-subnet</code>).<br />
* Avoid spaces in placeholder tokens.<br />
* Keep placeholders short and specific.<br />
<br />
== Test checklist ==<br />
Use these snippets to validate rendering:<br />
* Paragraph: <code><nowiki>Use {{Placeholder|your-subnet}} in this sentence.</nowiki></code><br />
* List item: <code><nowiki>* Prefix: {{Placeholder|your-subnet}}</nowiki></code><br />
* Table cell: <code><nowiki>| {{Placeholder|your-subnet}}</nowiki></code><br />
* Note callout: <code><nowiki>{{Note|Replace {{Placeholder|your-subnet}} with your assigned block.}}</nowiki></code><br />
* Info callout: <code><nowiki>{{Info|tip|Set {{Placeholder|your-hostname}} before enabling the tunnel.}}</nowiki></code><br />
<br />
== VisualEditor note ==<br />
This template is inline-only and should render as a normal inline span in VisualEditor. Verify by inserting it in a paragraph, a list item, and a table cell.</div>KI5QKX
