If the template is used slightly wrong it will in most cases still behave well. For instance if there are no or several spaces after the template. Like these examples:

<nowiki>[[Salt]] {{&middot;}} [[Pepper]]</nowiki>


Then it will still only render just one space on each side of the dot, like this:
Then it will render with two spaces before the dot, and one after, like this:
:[[Salt]] '''&middot;''' [[Pepper]]
:[[Salt]] &nbsp;'''&middot;''' [[Pepper]]


But if it line breaks it might break ''before'' the dot, like this:
If it line breaks it might break ''before'' the dot, like this:
:[[Salt]]
:[[Salt]]
:'''&middot;''' [[Pepper]]
:'''&middot;''' [[Pepper]]

The space before the dot is a "non-wrapping" but "collapsing" space. That means it will not line break, but it will collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template to form one single space. It is not simply a <code>&amp;nbsp;</code> since that one will not collapse.
