This template echoes its first argument through the rendering engine.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
This is occasionally useful as a metatemplate. For example:<br />
* To break up certain constructs that otherwise have special meaning in wikitext.<br />
** <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{1x|~~}}{{1x|~~}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{1x|~~}}{{1x|~~}}<br />
* To strip white space from a template parameter.<br />
** <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>a{{{1| x }}}b</syntaxhighlight> → a{{{1| x }}}b<br />
** <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>a{{1x|1= {{{1| x }}} }}b</syntaxhighlight> → a{{1x|1= {{{1| x }}} }}b<br />
* To conditionally hide or show some content by choosing which template takes a parameter.<br />
** <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{ {{#if: {{{x}}} | 2x | 1x }} | hello }}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ {{#if:{{{x}}} | 2x | 1x }} | hello }}<br />
** <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{ {{#if: {{{x}}} | void | 1x }} | hello }}</syntaxhighlight> → {{ {{#if:{{{x}}} | void | 1x }} | hello }}<br />
