This module takes in text and displays both the input and/or the result. The input supports wikitext formatting and can use links to other pages. The output's wikitext formatting needs to be escaped appropriately (see below).

Usage

{{#invoke:Eval|main|<wikitext to process>}}

For just the code with HTML formatting, utilize {{#invoke:Eval|code|<wikitext to process>}}

For just the unformatted code, utilize {{#invoke:Eval|raw|<wikitext to process>}}

For just the result, utilize {{#invoke:Eval|result|<wikitext to process>}}

Parameters

• 1: the code to evaluate and display. This parameter is required.
• nowiki: whether the input is surrounded by nowiki tags. In this case, the module will behave similar to Module:Demo. Default is "no".
• format: the format of the code section. "inline" will display the code and/or result on the same line, while "block" will display the code in syntaxhighlight. Default is "block".

Escape characters

For technical reasons, attempting to add template code such as {{template}} will copy the contents of the template into the parameters. The same applies for parser tags like <ref>...</ref> and <gallery>...</gallery>. To get around this, using backslash before any of these characters will escape it, similar to escaping in JavaScript or C++.

This is not relevant when "nowiki" is set to "yes".

Examples

With Formatted Text

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
This is some <b>bold text</b> in the source
}}

Using this code:

This is some bold text in the source

yields:

This is some bold text in the source

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
This is some \<b\>bold text\</b\> in the source
}}

Using this code:

This is some <b>bold text</b> in the source

yields:

This is some <b>bold text</b> in the source

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
This is some \<b\>bold text\</b\> in the output
}}

Using this code:

This is some <b>bold text</b> in the output

yields:

This is some bold text in the output

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
I can call a template like \{\{T\pT\}\}
}}

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
I can call a template like \{\{T\pT\}\}
|format=inline}}

{{#invoke:Eval|raw|
I can call a template like \{\{T\pT\}\}
}}

{{#invoke:Eval|code|
I can call a template like \{\{T\pT\}\}
}}

{{#invoke:Eval|code|
I can call a template like \{\{T\pT\}\}
|format=inline}}

{{#invoke:Eval|result|
I can call a template like \{\{T\pT\}\}
}}

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
I can also make a fake template call like \{\{T\{\{!\}\}T\}\}
}}

Using this code:

I can also make a fake template call like {{T{{!}}T}}

yields:

I can also make a fake template call like {{T|T}}

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
To insert a \[\[wikipedia:Backslash\pbackslash\]\] I just use \\
|format=inline}}

Using this code: To insert a [[wikipedia:Backslash|backslash]] I just use \ yields: To insert a backslash I just use \

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
And this is how to insert [[Main Page|links]] into the code
|format=inline}}

Using this code: And this is how to insert links into the code yields: And this is how to insert links into the code

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
And an [https://example.com external link]
|format=inline}}

Using this code: And an external link yields: And an external link

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
If you [[Main Page|try it]] in block mode it may look weird
}}

Using this code:

If you try it in block mode it may look weird

yields:

If you try it in block mode it may look weird

With Nowiki

{{#invoke:Eval|main|
<nowiki>This is some [[Main Page|Link]]</nowiki>
|nowiki=yes}}
