I'm sorry for that, I think I've fixed it now, I've forgot a return in the template.

If this can help others, to fix those problems, "wrap" the return with
a html comment, so you get no return but readability too.

Wrong code:
<span class="literal">{{{1}}}</span>
<noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

Fix:
<span class="literal">{{{1}}}</span><!--
--><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

This trick is used a lot in wikipedia templates, see for example wikitext here:

I'm documenting and clearing templates, in order to have a well documented 
set of templates we can use. See the "upcoming" 
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:2.5/Guides/Templates :)

To explain a bit, I'm using the same mechanism Wikipedia is 
using nowadays: for a given template, say Template:Foo they put 
documentation text in Template:Foo/doc and then they transclude 
Template:Foo/doc in Template:Foo, so things stay separate and you can 
reuse Template:Foo/doc in other pages, see wikitext here
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php?title=Meta:2.5/Guides/Templates&action=edit

Sorry for any inconvenient I might give in these days, I'm working a bit to clear as much as possible before we start documenting 2.5 :)

Best regards,
Luca
