I.e., it's a {{tl|tl}}-style ''template-link'' tag that boldfaces the template name, and accepts parameters. It's main use is in distinguishing between multiple templates with similar names, in documentation, talk page discussions, etc.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tl|tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tl|tlu}} instead).
It is otherwise precisely the same code (as of 21:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)) as {{tl|tlx}}, and thus uses its documentation, below.

Explanation

This template is a copy of {{tlxb}} except that it uses normal text instead of non-proportional, monospaced text:

Code Result Remark
{{tlb|Template name}} {{Template name}}
{{tlb|Template name|parm1|parm2}} {{Template name|parm1|parm2}}
{{tlb|Template name|parm1|parm2{{=}}foo}} {{Template name|parm1|parm2=foo}} Equal signs need to be escaped using {{=}}.
{{tlb}} {{Tlb}} This actually substitutes the current page name. Useful as a self-reference; won't be linked.
{{tlb|SISTER=m:|3x}} {{3x}} Link to page on another wiki.

The rest of the documentation is for {{tlx}}, which works the same way (although it doesn't currently behave sanely when no parameters are given; use {{tlu}} instead).
