Lua-native alternative to popular flag templates. Can be used to reduce [[WP:PEIS|post-expand include size]] of pages with lots of templates, since it avoids calling multilevel templates.

== Usage ==
====Generic flag templates====
* {{tl|flag}} → {{[[Module:flag|#invoke:flag]]|}}
* {{tl|flag country}} → {{ml|flag|country}}
* {{tl|flag decoration}} (or {{tl|flagdeco}}) → {{ml|flag|decoration}} (or {{ml|flag|deco}})
* {{tl|flag icon}} → {{ml|flag|icon}}
* {{tl|flag link}} → {{ml|flag|link}}
* {{tl|flag+link}} → {{ml|flag|+link}}

====Sports flag templates====
* {{tl|flag athlete}} → {{ml|flag|athlete}}
* {{tl|flag medalist}} → {{ml|flag|medalist}}
* {{tl|flag team}} → {{ml|flag|team}}
* {{tl|flag IOC}} → {{ml|flag|IOC}}
* {{tl|flag IOC 2}} → {{ml|flag|IOC 2}}
* {{tl|flag IOC athlete}} → {{ml|flag|IOC athlete}}
* {{tl|fb}} → {{ml|flag|fb}}
* {{tl|fba}} → {{ml|flag|fba}}
* {{tl|fb-rt}} → {{ml|flag|fb-rt}}
* {{tl|fbicon}} → {{ml|flag|fbicon}}
* {{tl|fbaicon}} → {{ml|flag|fbaicon}}
* {{tl|ru}} → {{ml|flag|ru}}

== Caveats ==
When used inside a template, parameters from that template are passed to the module. This can be useful in some situations, but can lead to conflicts (for example, if the parent template has a parameter {{para|country}} that is unrelated to the flag it is supposed to display). To prevent this behavior, add the {{para|frameonly}} parameter to the module call, e.g. {{mlx|1=flag|2=deco|3=CHN|4=frameonly=true}}.
