Line 15:
The recommended usage is to use ''no'' space before the template and one space after the template, like this:
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{·}} [[Black pepper|Pepper]]</nowiki>
The template can also be used with no space after it, but then the code does not wrap in the edit window thus making editing harder. Like this:
<nowiki>[[Salt]]{{·}}[[Black pepper|Pepper]]</nowiki>
Both examples will render one space on each side of the dot, like this:
:[[Salt]] '''·''' [[Black pepper|Pepper]]
If it line breaks then the line break will come ''after'' the dot, not before, like this:
:[[Salt]] '''·'''
:[[Black pepper|Pepper]]
For long dotted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with no spaces between each item and the template. Like this:
<pre><nowiki>
[[Salt]]{{·}}
[[Black pepper|Pepper]]{{·}}
[[Curry]]{{·}}
[[Saffron]]</nowiki></pre>
Line 38:
As before it will render one space on each side of the dots, like this:
:[[Salt]] '''·''' [[Black pepper|Pepper]] '''·''' [[Curry]] '''·''' [[Saffron]]
And if it line breaks then the line break will come ''after'' one of the dots, not before, like this:
:[[Salt]] '''·''' [[Black pepper|Pepper]] '''·'''
:[[Curry]] '''·''' [[Saffron]]
When using the template to separate words in italics (typically lists of artworks in [[Template:navbox|navboxes]]), put it ''within the italics'' to display with proper spacing on both sides. Compare:
<nowiki>''[[Salt]]''{{·}} ''[[Black pepper|Pepper]]''</nowiki>
<nowiki>''[[Salt]]{{·}} [[Black pepper|Pepper]]''</nowiki>
<!-- This smaller text size is necessary for the first example to "fail" as intended. -->
<div style="font-size:90%">
:''[[Salt]]''{{·}} ''[[Black pepper|Pepper]]''
:''[[Salt]]{{·}} [[Black pepper|Pepper]]''
</div>
Line 59:
=== Usage issues ===
Putting one or more spaces before the template will cause it to render differently, like these examples:
<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{·}}[[Black pepper|Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{·}}[[Black pepper|Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{·}} [[Black pepper|Pepper]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{·}} [[Black pepper|Pepper]]</nowiki>
Then it will render with ''two'' spaces before the dot, and one after, like this:
:[[Salt]] '''·''' [[Black pepper|Pepper]]
And if it line breaks it might break ''before'' the dot, like this:
:[[Salt]]
:'''·''' [[Black pepper|Pepper]]
Alternatively an <code>&nbsp;</code> can be added before and after the template to create extra padding around the middot.
