<br />
This template formats a link for use in hatnote templates. It accepts two positional parameters, the link, and an optional display value. Links to categories and files are automatically escaped with the [[Help:Colon trick|colon trick]], and links to sections are automatically formatted as ''page § section'', rather than the MediaWiki default of ''page#section''.<br />
<br />
This template doesn't work with [[WP:SUBST|subst]].<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
'''Link only:'''<br />
<br />
{{tlc|format link|''link''}}<br />
<br />
'''Link plus display:'''<br />
<br />
{{tlc|format link|''link''|''display''}}<br />
<br />
'''Link with an italicized page name:'''<br />
<br />
{{tlc|format link|''link''|3=italicizepage=yes}}<br />
<br />
'''Link with an italicized section name:'''<br />
<br />
{{tlc|format link|''link''|3=italicizesection=yes}}<br />
<br />
If the link or display values contain an equals sign, you will need to specify the parameter names like this:<br />
<br />
{{tlc|format link|2=1=''link''|3=2=''display''}}<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
* {{tlc|format link|Lion}} → <nowiki>[[Lion]]</nowiki> → {{format link|Lion}}<br />
* {{tlc|format link|Lion#Etymology}} → <nowiki>[[Lion#Etymology|Lion §&amp;nbsp;Etymology]]</nowiki> → {{format link|Lion#Etymology}}<br />
* {{tlc|format link|Category:Lions}} → <nowiki>[[:Category:Lions]]</nowiki> → {{format link|Category:Lions}}<br />
* {{tlc|format link|Lion#Etymology|Etymology of lion}} → <nowiki>[[Lion#Etymology|Etymology of lion]]</nowiki> → {{format link|Lion#Etymology|Etymology of lion}}<br />

Secretary of Justice|italicizesection=true}}<br />
