+== Other disambiguation templates ==
+This template might not be the desired template for your applications. See [[Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage)]] for a comparison and index of the alternatives.
+==Usage and purpose==
+This template is primarily used to add ''disambiguation links'' (''dab'' is Wikipedia shorthand for "disambiguation") to the top of article pages. It places an HTML <code>div-</code> / <code>div</code> block around the material given as its only argument, which provides standardized formatting (contents are indented and italicized in most displays); it also isolates the contained code to make sure that it is interpreted correctly.
+This template is also used as the "meta-template" for additional specialized disambiguation link templates; see [[Wikipedia:Otheruses templates (example usage)]] for a list.
+Contrary to what its name may imply, the template does not automatically create links of any kind. Links and other desired formatting must be explicitly added, using normal [[Wikipedia:Cheatsheet|Wikipedia markup]].
+==Template contents==
+{{Fs|3|<nowiki><div class="dablink">{{{1}}}</div></nowiki>}}
+== Examples ==
+These five examples demonstrate use of the {{tlx|indent}} family of templates to provide different forcing wrap effects. The last shows the effect of an embedded HTML <nowiki>'<br />'</nowiki> line break.
+===No break===
+:<code><nowiki>{{dablink|See also [[Murphy's Law]], [[Finagle's Law]] and [[Murphy's laws of combat]]. For the album by British rock band [[Spear of Destiny (band)|Spear of Destiny]], see [[Sod's Law (Spear of Destiny album)]]}}</nowiki></code>
