Cèṭa'an:In5
src attribute must not be empty. | This template uses Lua: |
The indenter Template:in5 indents text by 5 spaces or the count specified by parameter 1 (range: 1 to 50 spaces).
| Usage | Indents by |
|---|---|
{{in5}} |
5 spaces |
{{in5|8}} |
8 spaces |
{{in5|47}} |
47 spaces |
Spaces outside the double braces will add an extra space on either
side, such as the 12 spaces inserted by {{in5|10}}.
It does not insert a newline (line break). To use on a series of lines, add <br /> at the end of the line before (each) {{in5}}. You can also use a blank line before the {{in5}}, which will introduce a paragraph break.
Examples
[beccè' sombher]The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing:
| Example | Produces |
|---|---|
xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}zz |
xx yy zz |
xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}zz |
xx yy zz |
aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}cc |
aa bb cc |
"32.0{{in5|7}}" |
"32.0 " |
Example 4 shows the ability to put trailing spaces, such as spaces after a number in a wikitable column (coded as: | 32.0). Typical numbers (with {{in5}} align=right), in a table column, often appear crowded at the right-hand side, so appending {{in5}} can improve readability, in tables with lines between columns.
Comparison with letter-spacing
[beccè' sombher]To insert spacing between each character of any text, then <span style="letter-spacing:value unit"> can be used. For example, with <span style="letter-spacing:1.2em">, spanning the text "example" (not including the quotation marks), it would look like: "example". (Note that the spacing applies to the last character; the intended result might actually be to span the characters exampl only: "example".) The spacing value may express any number from 0 on; also fractions like .45 are possible, and the unit may be em or any other standard HTML/CSS measurement unit (pt, px, cm, mm, in).
