Usage

{{Docparam|name=parameter|req=yes|desc=description}}

{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:<unnamed 1> // name|| }}| >> | up to }}| // | or }}| ++ |, }}

Name of the parameter(s). Certain strings are automatically translated to allow for specification of alternative choices or parameter ranges.

Translated strings (all of these need to be enclosed by spaces):

>> is converted to a dash with spaces around it (" - "); used to indicate parameter ranges (e.g. "game1 - game5").
// is converted to " or "; used for alternative choices (e.g. "<unnamed 1> or title").
++ is converted to a comma with a trailing space (", "); used for listing parameters which are separate but work the same (e.g. "contentA1, contentB1").

{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:default ++ default2|| }}| >> | up to }}| // | or }}| ++ |, }}

The default value(s) of the parameter.

{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:desc|| }}| >> | up to }}| // | or }}| ++ |, }}
