Template:BSdirective/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:BSdirective.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason.

Usage

This template is intended to transmit some directives to the compiler when translating a {{BS-map}} into a {{routemap}}.

Inside of a {{BS-map}} structure, {{BSdirective|this_and_that}} is simply skipped.
At compile time, string this_and_that is simply unprotected. The parser uses the sed rule:
```
s¶{{BSdirective|\([^}]*\)}}¶\1¶
```

The parser process therefore assumes that string this_and_that don't contain any closing curly brace.

This artifex can be used to transmit strange tw values, or any other parameter that is found missing after compilation.
