__NOTOC__
 
This is the '''bold middot''' template, it looks like this: " '''&middot;''' ".
 
Line 16:
The recommended usage is to use ''no'' space before the template, a space ''can'' be used after the template, like this:
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{&middot;}}[[Pepper]]</nowiki>
Or like this:
or:
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{&middot;}} [[Pepper]]</nowiki>
 
Line 42:
:[[Curry]] '''&middot;''' [[Saffron]]
 
When using the template to separate words in italics in navboxes (typically lists of artworks in [[Template:navbox|navboxes]]), put it ''within the italics'' to display with proper spacing on both sides:. compareCompare:
 
<nowiki>''[[Salt]]''{{&middot;}} ''[[Pepper]]''</nowiki>
<nowiki>''[[Salt]]{{&middot;}} [[Pepper]]''</nowiki>
 
<!-- This smaller text size is necessary for the first example to "fail" as intended. -->
<div style="font-size:90%">
:''[[Salt]]''{{·}} ''[[Pepper]]'' <br>
:''[[Salt]]{{·}} [[Pepper]]''
</div>
 
(This also improves code brevity and clarity.)
 
=== Usage issues ===
 
Putting one or more spaces before the template will cause it to render differently, like these examples:
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
:'''&middot;''' [[Pepper]]
 
Alternatively an <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> can be added before and after the template to create extra padding around the middot.
 
=== Technical details ===
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.
 
The NBSP causesUnder some display problems oncircumstances [[Mozilla Firefox]] gets some display problems, with the content occasionally sticking out of the (nav)box's right edge;. aA way to bypassfix itsuch problems is to use [[template:{{tl|nowrap]] orbegin}} directlyand aits spanhelper withtemplates. white-space:nowrap(The exact nature of this problem is still under investigation.)
