Its primary use is in instruction and documentation. The template is very good to use when you want to present template code in inline text.

The parameters of can be formatted using wiki-code.

 * Template parameters

 * The specified parameters cannot include any equals signs (=). That will break the template. If you need to do that, use the template =.
 * If the maximum of 11 included parameters is exceeded, the template will only show the 11 first parameters, and exclude the surplus ones.
