This module displays a blue box containing documentation for [[WP:TEMPLATE|templates]], [[WP:MODULE|Lua modules]], or other pages. The {{tl|documentation}} template invokes it.

== Normal usage ==

For most uses, you should use the {{tl|documentation}} template; please see that template's page for its usage instructions and parameters.

== Use in other modules ==

To use this module from another Lua module, first load it with <code>require</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
local documentation = require('Module:Documentation').main
</syntaxhighlight>

Then you can simply call it using a table of arguments.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
documentation{content = 'Some documentation', ['link box'] = 'My custom link box'}
</syntaxhighlight>

Please refer to the [[Template:Documentation/doc|template documentation]] for usage instructions and a list of parameters.
