SILR inline templates require initial and final brackets '(.....)'. When grouping two or more templates, editors can avoid brackets appearing inside the group by means of the '''nb''' parameter.
# If '''nb'''= r, the right bracket will be replaced with a semicolon followed by a space.
# If '''nb'''= l (lower-case 'L'), the left bracket will be omitted.
# The values '''nb''' = lr <u>''or''</u> rl combine both effects.

The coding interprets correctly upper-case 'L' and 'R' if inserted by mistake.

Editors may prefer to use a {{tlx|Silrnote}} to hold all the references and so keep the in-line reference really short.

'''Use with the Bible-reference templates {{tlc|Silrnt}}, {{tlc|Silrot}} and {{tlc|Silrdc}}'''

By including the number '2' as the first element of '''nb''', the repetition of the name of the book will be avoided thus condensing consecutive references.  For example,

: Text {{tlc|Silrnt|Joh| 1:1|nb{{=}}r}}{{tlc|Silrnt|Joh|1:18|nb{{=}}2}} gives
: Text {{Silrnt|Joh| 1:1|nb=r}}{{Silrnt|Joh|1:18|nb=2}}

Note the use of ''nb''=r in the preceding reference to avoid the final bracket after the first reference!
