Template:Dot/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dot.

In most cases it contains usage information, example, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Note: Extracts of this template documentation have been copied from Wikipedia (hover over for details).

This abridged version is meant to provide only a basic overview of the original template's documentation. This template may, or may not, be used in the same capacity as the Wikipedia version.

This is the bold middot template, which produces: " · " used in horizontal lists. It is used when you want something smaller than a bullet " • " or ndash " – ".

Usage

Simply add {{dot}} where you wish to include the " · " within the body of text, or particularly a horizontal list.

Technical details

The space before the dot is a non-breaking space. That means it will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template.

The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.

Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in. The how-to guide Wikipedia:Line-break handling explains when that happens and how to fix it.
