Documentation

This template outputs a left-square-bracket character, [, for use in contexts where that would otherwise be interpreted as wiki markup for forming a link. The same thing can be accomplished using the HTML character entity [. (For two such characters, [[, use {{((}} or [[.)

Note that this template is not equivalent to the one at Wikipedia with the same name^↗, which outputs a left-curly-brace character (for which, see {{lb}}).

Usage

• {{(}}

Any input to the template is ignored, as seen in the examples below.

Examples

• {{(}} ⇒ [
• {{(|blah}} ⇒ [
