Template:Tla/doc

Usage

This template works exactly like {{tl}} with the addition of optionally displaying alternative label text.

• {{tla|quote|link to quote template}} → {{link to quote template}}

When the second parameter is omitted, the original template name is displayed (i.e. {{tla}} reverts to {{tl}}):

• {{tla|quote}} → {{quote}}
