== Usage ==
This template allows "=" to be used in unnamed template parameters. It inserts the [[equals-sign]] ("=") into the text. Alternatively, the [[HTML]] entity "&amp;#61;" can be used if there is no need for it to be interpreted as wikimarkup, such as when the literal equals-sign is to be displayed to the user.

== Examples ==
* <code><nowiki>{{Font color|black|yellow|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{Font color|black|yellow|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}

You can also use named parameters to bypass the restriction:
* <code><nowiki>{{Font color|black|yellow|3= 2 + 2 = 4}}</nowiki></code> produces: {{Font color|black|yellow|3= 2 + 2 = 4}}

Unlike &amp;#61;, the template only delays the interpretation of the symbol as code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
{{concat|<div class{{=}}"hatnote">This should be italicised.</div>}}
{{concat|<div class&#61;"hatnote">This will not be italicised.</div>}}
</syntaxhighlight>
produces:
{{concat|<div class{{=}}"hatnote">This should be italicised.</div>}}
{{concat|<div class&#61;"hatnote">This will not be italicised.</div>}}
