The expression {{=}} is used to insert a = character into a template or table where it would otherwise affect or break the formatting of the template/table instead of displaying the character. It is most likely to be used in conjunction with templates like {{Note}} or the {{Key}} template. See its documentation for further information.

Tip.pngTip:Instead of having to "escape" every single occurrence of an equals sign with {{=}} in an unnamed parameter of a template call, it may be easier to use the unnamed parameter like a named parameter.

Both of the following deliver if (i == 0) return count == 0;:

  • {{Code|if (i {{=}}{{=}} 0) return count {{=}}{{=}} 0;}}
  • {{Code|1=if (i == 0) return count == 0;}}
