Template:P1

{{{1}}}

The templates P1, P2 and P3 simply return the first, second and third unnamed input parameter respectively. For example:

• Template:Tlc returns foo

• Template:Tlc returns bar

• Template:Tlc returns baz

These templates can be used inside other templates as an alternative to the #switch parser function, to switch between outputs based on whether the input is "1", "2" or "3":

• Template:Tlc

Using {{#switch}}, this syntax is equivalent to

• Template:Tlc

except that the parser function strips whitespace between parameters whereas the templates don't.
