=== Line breaks ===
While line breaks in the body of a template code are useful for readability, line breaks at the beginning or end of template code could cause display issues on articles. Care should be taken when coding templates to ensure that there is no unnecessary whitespace. A single line break in an infobox may combine with a line break in an article to cause a paragraph break, or could cause an unwanted template in an inline template. As a general guideline, avoid two line breaks together in your template. These may "add up" with other line breaks in the article and be displayed as unwanted white space. For more information about line breaks as they affect wikitext, see [[Wikipedia:Line-break handling]].

To avoid unnecessary whitespace, ensure that any {{tag|noinclude|o}} tags are placed immediately after the template code. The following code is from {{t|questions}} and has good line break management.
