=== Usage ===<br />
Use to compare a template with its sandbox. Pass the raw code in nowikis as the first unnamed parameter; the existing template as the second, and the sandbox as the third. The optional named parameter {{para|id}} is used as a heading (to describe the test being performed); if {{para|id}} is omitted, parameter 1 is used. The optional named parameter {{para|layout}} determines whether the live and sandbox outputs are displayed side by side or on top of each other. The default value is vertical (on top of each other). A value of horizontal will produce side by side output.<br />
<br />
If the pair of test codes in parameters 2 and 3 both produce the same output, then the test case is displayed in a collapsed table with a green heading. If the test codes produce different output ''(this includes white space differences)'', then the test is displayed in an uncollapsed table with a yellow heading.<br />
<br />
Note that some more complex templates may cause testcases to be highlighted even when their output is the same. The cause of this is under investigation...<br />
<br />
===Example===<br />
<pre>{{testcase<br />
|id=title and url<br />
|layout=vertical<br />
|&lt;nowiki>{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}&lt;/nowiki><br />
|{{citation |title=Test|url=http://example.org}}<br />
|{{citation/sandbox|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}<br />
}}</pre><br />
<br />
If the sandbox code in parameter 3 gives the same output as the non-sandbox code in parameter 2:<br />
<!--note, the code used in the examples below is simply to ensure that the output is always the same in the first example and different in the second - the output, not the code, is what matters.--><br />
{{testcase<br />
|id=title and url<br />
|<nowiki>{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}</nowiki><br />
|{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}<br />
|{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
If sandbox gives different output:<br />
{{testcase<br />
|id=title and url<br />
|<nowiki>{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}</nowiki><br />
|{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}}<br />
|{{citation|title=Test|url=http://example.org}} content of the differing output<br />
}}<br />
