{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#replace:name|| }}| >> | up to }}| // | or }}| ++ |, }}

Name of the parameter. Certain strings are automatically translated to allow for specification of alternative choices or parameter ranges.

Translated strings (all of these need to be enclosed by spaces):

• >> is converted "up to", to indicate a range of possible parameters.
• // is converted to "or", for alternative choices.
• ++ is converted to a comma with a trailing space (", "), for listing parameters which are separate but work the same (e.g. "contentA1, contentB1").
