Template:In5

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

Usage:   {{in5}} {{

1. switch: 5

 | 1 =  
 | 2 =   
 | 3 =    
 | 4 =     
 | 5 =      
 | 6 =       
 | 7 =        
 | 8 =         
 | 9 =          
 |           }}{{

1. ifexpr:5 > 10 |           }}{{
2. ifexpr:5 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:5 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:5 > 40 | }} <--indents by 5 spaces
   

Usage:   {{in5|8}}     <--indents by 8 spaces

Usage:   {{in5|47}}   <--indents by 47

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

NOTE: The name "in5" was chosen because other names were debated, such as
the name "in" being redefined as 6 different uses.

Examples

The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing:

Example 1: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}zz, produces: xx{{

1. switch: 10

 | 1 =  
 | 2 =   
 | 3 =    
 | 4 =

2. ifexpr:10 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:10 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:10 > 40 | }}yy{{
5. switch: 10

2. ifexpr:10 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:10 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:10 > 40 | }}zz

Example 2: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}zz, produces: xx{{

 | 9 =          
 |           }}{{

1. ifexpr:10 > 10 |           }}{{
2. ifexpr:10 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:10 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:10 > 40 | }}yy{{
5. switch: 15

1. ifexpr:15 > 10 |      }}{{
2. ifexpr:15 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:15 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:15 > 40 | }}zz

Example 3: aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}cc, produces: aa{{

1. switch: 20

 | 1 =  
 | 2 =   
 | 3 =    
 | 4 =     
 | 5 =      
 | 6 =       
 | 7 =        
 | 8 =         
 | 9 =          
 |           }}{{

1. ifexpr:20 > 10 |           }}{{
2. ifexpr:20 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:20 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:20 > 40 | }}bb{{
5. switch: 20

 | 1 =  
 | 2 =   
 | 3 =    
 | 4 =     
 | 5 =      
 | 6 =

 | 9 =

1. ifexpr:20 > 10 |           }}{{
2. ifexpr:20 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:20 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:20 > 40 | }}cc

Example 4: "32.0{{in5|7}}"  produces: "32.0{{

1. switch: 7

 | 1 =  
 | 2 =   
 | 3 =    
 | 4 =     
 | 5 =      
 | 6 =       
 | 7 =        
 | 8 =         
 | 9 =          
 |           }}{{

1. ifexpr:7 > 10 |           }}{{
2. ifexpr:7 > 20 |           }}{{
3. ifexpr:7 > 30 |           }}{{
4. ifexpr:7 > 40 | }}"

The 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.

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:

Example of {{spaces|10}} and... with {{spaces|15}} with {{spaces|20}} with {{spaces|25}}

xx{{spaces|10}}yy, produces: xxTemplate:Spacesyy xxTemplate:Spacesyy xxTemplate:Spacesyy xxTemplate:Spacesyy

Example of {{in5|10}} and... with {{in5|15}} with {{in5|20}} with {{in5|25}} with {{in5|45}}

xx{{in5|10}}yy, produces: xx{{ switch: 10

Again, using {{in5}} reliably allows up to 50 spaces at a time.
