== Handling equal-sign or bar ==

[[w:Help:Template|Templates]] have problems with parameter data that contains equal-signs "<code>=</code>" or vertical bars "<code>|</code>" (pipes). Note that this does not apply if the equal-sign "<code>=</code>" or vertical bar "<code>|</code>" is inside a wikilink or another template.  In the case that there is a bare equal-sign "<code>=</code>" or vertical bar "<code>|</code>", consider using {{tl|nowrap begin}} + {{tl|nowrap end}} instead. However, there are also other workarounds:

For text that includes an equal-sign "=", precede the text with <code>1=</code>, use a triple-brace unnamed parameter <code><nowiki>{{{|=}}}</nowiki></code>, or the <code><nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki></code> template. For example:
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>1=2 + 2 = 4}}</code>, <br /><code><nowiki>{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{{|=}}} 4}}</nowiki></code>, or <br /><code><nowiki>{{nowrap|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}</nowiki></code>

which all render as this:
:{{nowrap|1=2 + 2 = 4}}.

For text that includes a vertical bar "|", escape the bar(s) with "<code><nowiki>&amp;#124;</nowiki></code>" or "<code><nowiki>{{pipe}}</nowiki></code>" or "<code><nowiki>{{abs}}</nowiki></code>". For instance, put two bars "|6|" like this:
:<code><nowiki>{{nowrap|</nowiki>&amp;#124;6&amp;#124; < 7}}</code> &nbsp;or&nbsp; <code><nowiki>{{nowrap|{{pipe}}6{{pipe}} < 7}}</nowiki></code> &nbsp;or&nbsp; <code><nowiki>{{nowrap|{{abs|6}} < 7}}</nowiki></code>

Which renders this: 
:{{nowrap|&#124;6&#124; < 7}}
