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

This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS.

Creates a spaced parenthesis so as to avoid text collisions, especially between italicized content and a closing non-italicized round bracket:

It has the short but not entirely intuitive short {{--)}} because both {{)}} and {{-)}} were already used by other templates.

Usage

Example:

"An equivalent French slang term (être calé{{--)}} is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

produces:

"An equivalent French slang term (être calé) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

instead of:

"An equivalent French slang term (être calé) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

{{'}} (Template:Apostrophe) – for use with adjacent italic markup
{{`}} – for use with adjacent bold markup
{{'s}} – for inserting an apostrophe and "s" immediately following italic markup
{{`s}} – for inserting an apostrophe and "s" immediately following bold markup
{{′}} (Template:Prime)
{{''}}
{{' "}} (Template:Single+double)
{{" '}} (Template:Double+single)
{{' '}} (Template:Single+single)
{{" ' "}} (Template:Double+single+double)
{{' " '}} (Template:Single+double+single)
{{-"}} (Template:Space+double)
{{"-}} (Template:Double+space)
{{-'}} (Template:Space+single)
{{'-}} (Template:Single+space)
{{--)}} (Template:Space+parenthesis) (it's --) because ) and -) were already used by other templates)
{{(-}} (Template:Parenthesis+space) (using (-- also works, for consistency with the one above)
