Usage
Template:Tlc or Template:Tlc. Integer examples: Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc. Indentation examples: Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc, Template:Tlc.
Parameters
|1=indent
- Supports two modes: literal indentation or an integer. In literal indentation mode the value may contain
:
(indents),*
(unnumbered list), and#
(numbered list). It is recommended to copy the colons, asterisks, and hashes from the start of the previous message. An integer value is interpreted as number or indents (:
). Magnitude of a negative integer specifies the width of indentation (same as positive integer with|reverse=y
). Default value is10
. Supported range is from −40 to 40. |2=y
- Set it to add a link to Wikipedia:Indentation#Outdenting. Template:Tlc produces:
|r=y
(aliases|reverse=y
,|indent=y
,|in=y
)- Reverses the outdentation to become indentation and vice versa.

- New post.
Indent
Using |reverse=y

displays as
- Previous post, indented 6 levels.
- Start of a new post indented 2 levels using a bar of length 6 − 2 = 4.
- Indent to indentation level 7 using a reversed bar of length 7 − 2 = 5.
