Template:Indent 5

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{In5}}

This template uses Lua:

Module:In5

The indenter Template:in5 indents text by 5 spaces or the count specified by parameter 1 (range: 1 to 50 spaces).

Usage	Indents by
`{{in5}}`	5 spaces
`{{in5\|8}}`	8 spaces
`{{in5\|47}}`	47 spaces

Spaces outside the double braces will add an extra space on either side, such as the 12 spaces inserted by {{in5|10}}.

It does not insert a newline (line break). To use on a series of lines, add <br /> at the end of the line before (each) {{in5}}. You can also use a blank line before the {{in5}}, which will introduce a paragraph break.

Examples

The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing:

Example	Produces
`xx{{in5\|10}}yy{{in5\|10}}zz`	xx yy zz
`xx{{in5\|10}}yy{{in5\|15}}zz`	xx yy zz
`aa{{in5\|20}}bb{{in5\|20}}cc`	aa bb cc
`"32.0{{in5\|7}}"`	"32.0 "

Example 4 shows the ability to put trailing spaces, such as spaces after a number in a wikitable column (coded as: | 32.0{{in5}} ). Typical numbers (with align=right), in a table column, often appear crowded at the right-hand side, so appending {{in5}} can improve readability, in tables with lines between columns.

Comparison with letter-spacing

To insert spacing between each character of any text, then <span style="letter-spacing:value unit"> can be used. For example, with <span style="letter-spacing:1.2em">, spanning the text "example" (not including the quotation marks), it would look like: "example". (Note that the spacing applies to the last character; the intended result might actually be to span the characters exampl only: "example".) The spacing value may express any number from 0 on; also fractions like .45 are possible, and the unit may be em or any other standard HTML/CSS measurement unit (pt, px, cm, mm, in).
