Usage
This template allows "=" to be used in unnamed template parameters. It inserts the equals-sign ("=") into the text. Alternatively, the HTML entity "=" 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
{{Font color|black|yellow|2 + 2 {{=}} 4}}produces: 2 + 2 = 4
You can also use named parameters to bypass the restriction:
{{Font color|black|yellow|3= 2 + 2 = 4}}produces: 2 + 2 = 4
Unlike =, the template only delays the interpretation of the symbol as code:
{{concat|<div class{{=}}"hatnote">This should be italicised.</div>}}
{{concat|<div class="hatnote">This will not be italicised.</div>}}
produces:
This should be italicised.
This will not be italicised.
