===On the Template page===

Template code<includeonly>Any categories to be inserted into articles by the template</includeonly><noinclude>
{{documentation}}</noinclude>
[/code]Note that, depending on the template, you may need to add a clear or complete a [autolink]table[/autolink]/div just before <code>[noparse]{{documentation}}[/noparse]</code> is inserted (within the noinclude tags).

The line break is also useful as it helps prevent the documentation template "running into" previous code.
