-->The indenter '''Template:in5''' indents text by 5 spaces or |

the count specified by<br>parameter 1 (range: 1 to 50 spaces). |

|||
{{Documentation}} |
|||
Spaces outside the double braces will add an extra space on either |
|||
side,<br>such as the 12 spaces inserted by: " {<font/>{in5|10}} ". |
|||
NOTE: The name "in5" was chosen because other names were debated, such as<br> the name "in" being redefined as 6 different uses. |
|||
==Examples== |
|||
The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing: |
|||
:: Example 1: <nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}</nowiki>zz, produces: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}zz |
|||
:: Example 2: <nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}</nowiki>zz, produces: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}zz |
|||
:: Example 3: <nowiki>aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}</nowiki>cc, produces: aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}cc |
|||
:: Example 4: <nowiki>"32.0{{in5|7}}"</nowiki> produces: "32.0{{in5|7}}" |
|||
The example 4 shows the ability to put trailing spaces, such as spaces after a number in a wikitable column (coded as: | 32.0{<font/>{in5}} ). Typical numbers (with "align=right"), in a table column, often appear crowded at the right-hand side, so appending "{<font/>{in5}}" can improve readability, in tables with lines between columns. |
|||
==Universal template== |
|||
This Template:in5 is intended as a universal template, with the same name on all Wikipedia sites. The name "in5" with the digit "5" is unlikely to conflict with other-language Wikipedias. Care must be taken not to name a universal template with a name that would be an awkward or peculiar word in the other languages. However, in some cases, a universal template might need a different name in a few conflicting languages. |
|||
==Comparison with Template:spaces== |
|||
There are other templates that insert spaces, although none had allowed 50 spaces. For example, the [[Template:spaces]] has had a limit of about 15 spaces: |
|||
{| class=wikitable style="margin-left:40px" |
|||
| valign=top | Example of <nowiki>{{spaces|10}}</nowiki><br>and...<br>with <nowiki>{{spaces|15}}</nowiki><br>with <nowiki>{{spaces|20}}</nowiki><br>with <nowiki>{{spaces|25}}</nowiki> || <nowiki>xx{{spaces|10}}</nowiki>yy, produces:<br>xx{{spaces|10}}yy<br>xx{{spaces|15}}yy<br>xx{{spaces|20}}yy<br>xx{{spaces|25}}yy |
|||
|- |
|||
| valign=top | Example of <nowiki>{{in5|10}}</nowiki><br>and...<br>with <nowiki>{{in5|15}}</nowiki><br>with <nowiki>{{in5|20}}</nowiki><br>with <nowiki>{{in5|25}}</nowiki><br>with <nowiki>{{in5|45}}</nowiki> || <nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}</nowiki>yy, produces:<br>xx{{in5|10}}yy<br>xx{{in5|15}}yy<br>xx{{in5|20}}yy<br>xx{{in5|25}}yy<br>xx{{in5|45}}yy |
|||
|} |
|||
Again, using {<font/>{in5}} reliably allows up to 50 spaces at a time. |

--NOTES: |
|||
-- |
|||
-- NOTE A1: This template inserts 5 or the specified count |
|||
-- of spaces. Currently, the count can be 1 to 50. |
|||
-- A recursive implementation could call {{in5}} again, |
|||
-- to handle each 10 spaces, as: {{in5|{{{1}}}-10}}; |
|||
-- however, that could become dangerous if the template |
|||
-- were edited by other people. |

-- 14Mar09 Created as numbered-space indentation tool. |

-- 02May09 For stand-alone display used includeonly-tag. |
|||
-- 02May09 Set for "Category:Formatting templates". |
|||
-- 24Sep09 Re-created as renamed to "in5" after TfD debate. |
|||
-- 25Sep09 Fixed/removed 2 sets of "{{" 20min after update. |
|||
-- 31Oct09 Put "Comparison" showing limit as {{spaces|15}}. |
