ढाँचा:Select parameter/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ढाँचा:Select parameter (see that page for the ढाँचा itself).
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that are not part of the original ढाँचा page.

This simple template provides an alternative to using a switch statement. Instead, it may be replaced by a call to this template. This allows the syntax to be simplified slightly by using unnamed parameters.

Usage

Instead of using the following:

{{#switch:{{{n}}}
 |1=entry1
 |2=entry2
 |3=entry3
  ...
}}

the following may be used:

{{Select parameter|n={{{n}}}
 |entry1
 |entry2
 |entry3
  ...
}}

The only named parameter {{{n}}} which is passed to this template should be a natural number.
