A template intended to aid the creation of lists which are strings of items separated by a "divider" or "separator" character. |
A template intended to aid the creation of lists which are strings of items separated by a "divider" or "separator" character. <code>{{tl|middot}}</code>, which redirects to this template, may also be used. Please note "Linewrap management" and the Example given below. |
||
; Character used : The divider/separator character used here is a bold middot ('''·''') as it usually appears less conspicuously than a bullet (•) or the vertical-line ( | ) but more visibly than a plain middot (·). (The vertical-line also resembles the uppercase letter "I", lowercase "l" or the upright parts of "h", "k", etc.) |

; Linewrap management : The template prefixes the bold middot separator with a [[non-breaking space]] (&nbsp;) so <code>{{tl|·}}</code> is meant to be suffixed to each item, as shown below. This prevents the separator being [[Word wrap|linewrapped]] to the starts of lines. |
; Linewrap management : The template prefixes the bold middot separator with a [[non-breaking space]] (&nbsp;) so <code>{{tl|·}}</code> is meant to be suffixed to each item, i.e. '''''without''''' a space between it and the preceeding item in the list, as shown below. This prevents the separator being [[Word wrap|linewrapped]] to the starts of lines. |
||
; <nowiki><small></nowiki> font-size alternative : For lists using a font-size 80% of normal font-size or less, <code>{{tl|·}}</code> becomes too small. Use <code><nowiki>&nbsp;•</nowiki></code> (i.e. a non-breaking space followed by the bullet character) instead. |
