The indenter Template:in5 indents text by 5 spaces or
the count specified by
parameter 1 (range: 1 to 50 spaces).
- Usage: {{in5}}
<--indents by 5 spaces
- Usage: {{in5|8}} <--indents by 8 spaces
- Usage: {{in5|47}} <--indents by 47
- Usage: {{in5|8}} <--indents by 8 spaces
Spaces outside the double braces will add an extra space on either
side,
such as the 12 spaces inserted by: " {{in5|10}} ".
NOTE: The name "in5" was chosen because other names were debated, such as
the name "in" being redefined as 6 different uses.
Examples
The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing:
- Example 1: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}zz, produces: xx
yy zz
- Example 2: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}zz, produces: xx
yy zz
- Example 3: aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}cc, produces: aa
bb cc
- Example 4: "32.0{{in5|7}}" produces: "32.0
" The example 4 shows the ability to put trailing spaces, such as spaces after a number in a wikitable column (coded as: | 32.0{{in5}} ). Typical numbers (with "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.
Universal template
This Template:in5 is intended as a universal template, with the same name on all Wikipedia sites. The name "in5" with the digit "5" is unlikely to conflict with other-language Wikipedias. Care must be taken not to name a universal template with a name that would be an awkward or peculiar word in the other languages. However, in some cases, a universal template might need a different name in a few conflicting languages.
