Template:Protected template A template intended to aid the creation of lists which are strings of items separated by a "divider" or "separator" character.
The divider/separator character used here is a bold middot (·) as it seems less obtrusive than a bullet (•) or the vertical-line ( | ) but more substantial than a plain middot (·). (The vertical-line also resembles the uppercase letter "I", lowercase "l" or the upright parts of "h", "k", etc.)
The character is preceded by a non-breaking space ( ) so the template may be used as shown below (i.e. suffixed to each item) to prevent the character being linewrapped to the starts of lines, thereby compromising a list's appearance.
- Example
- Code:
item 1{{·}} item 2{{·}} item 3{{·}} item 4
Result: item 1 · item 2 · item 3 · item 4
- Reference
| · | <small> middot |
| · | middot |
| · | bold middot |
| • | <small> bullet |
| • | bullet |
| • | bold bullet |
