TemplateSource

Meant to be used with the {{Template source}} template. Returns the plaintext contents of a template. Obeys the mostly the same behaviours as transclusion would, respects <onlyinclude>, <includeonly>, and <noinclude> tags. This module is primarily meant to be used as input to <syntaxhighlight>, which doesn't handle some tags (like or <categorytree>) correctly.

Example

The source of the {{Pagetabs}} template, wrapped in a <syntaxhighlight> tag.

{{#tag:syntaxhighlight|{{#invoke:TemplateSource|templateSource|Template:Pagetabs}}|lang=html|line=1}} generates:

---

local p = {}

function p.templateSource(frame)
	frame:expandTemplate{ title = 'tutorial', args = {} }
end

return p
