Template:Spaces/doc

A template to produce one or more non-breaking spaces (  character entities).

Syntax

{{spaces}}
produces a single non-breaking space. You may also use {{Nbsp}} (which redirects to this template) as a shortcut for a single non-breaking space.

{{spaces|N}}
where the optional parameter N is the desired number of consecutive non-breaking spaces (where N is a whole number larger than zero).

{{spaces|N|type}} produces N consecutive non-breaking spaces (where N is a whole number larger than zero) of the type specified by the second parameter (which are ordered by decreasing space width): em, fig, en, thin, hair. If type is not specified, N non-breaking spaces ( ) are produced. A non-breaking space has the same width as a standard space, whose width is between the width of en and thin.

Please see en:Template:Spaces for examples.

{{spaces|type}} produces a single non-breaking space of the type indicated.
