This template replaces the first character of the argument with its [[HTML entity]] if it is one of four wiki markup characters <code>:</code> <code>;</code> <code>*</code> <code>#</code>. This can sometimes fix the issue at [[Help:Template#Problems and workarounds]] where a character may be processed as though it were at the beginning of a line.

== Usage ==
{{Tlx|Encodefirst|<string>}}

== Examples ==
The output looks like the input whether a character is replaced or not.

{{Tlx|Encodefirst|*Lisp}} produces: {{Encodefirst|*Lisp}}

But the output will behave differently from the input in some situations where it is processed. For example, {{tl|la}} fails as of August 2017 if its argument starts with <code>*</code>.

<code><nowiki>{{la|*Lisp}}</nowiki></code> causes the asterisk to be processed as [[Help:Wiki markup#Lists|list markup]] and produces broken display.

<code><nowiki>{{la|{{Encodefirst|*Lisp}}}}</nowiki></code> works correctly:

{{la|{{Encodefirst|*Lisp}}}}
