May be used in-line to create a reference, such as {{LinkTemplate|color|colorcode}}, to a template within the body of a paragraph.&nbsp; The inclusion of parameters is entirely optional, dependent upon whether their listing is desired; the template alone may be referenced as in {{LinkTemplate|color}} by simply excluding the parameters from the call to {{LinkTemplate|LinkTemplate}}.
