Template:Prime/doc: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

This template produces a {{w|prime symbol}} <code>′</code> with a small amount of leading space so it does not collide with preceding '''bold''' (<code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>) or ''italic'' (<code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code>) characters. It is designed to be easier to remember and somewhat clearer than an unadorned {{plaincode|&#x2032;}} or {{plaincode|&prime;}}.

{{shortcut|,}} The {{w|~~comma (symbol)|punctuation comma~~}} is used as the shortcut since {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}} are used to escape the apostrophe ~~and the acute accent (~~<~~code~~>´</~~code~~>) ~~is not easily typed on most keyboards~~.

{{shortcut|´}} The {{w|acute accent}} is used for the shortcut since {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{'}}</nowiki>}} and {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>}} are used to escape the apostrophe. Alternatively, you can use {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{,}}</nowiki>}} (the {{w|comma (symbol)|punctuation comma}}).

=== Usage ===

Line 9:

! You get

|-

| <code><nowiki>A{{,}}</nowiki></code>

| <code><nowiki>A{{´}}</nowiki></code><br />or<br /><code><nowiki>A{{,}}</nowiki></code>

| A{{,}}

| A{{´}}

|}

=== Technical notes ===

The difference between this template and {{tlx|spaced prime|plaincode}} is that this template is for letters that require little or no spacing, such as lowercase ''a'', ''o'', and ''s'', and uppercase ''A'' and ''L'', while {{plaincode|<nowiki>{{spaced prime}}</nowiki>}} is for letters such as lowercase ''d'', ''f'', and ''l'', and uppercase ''C'' and ''T'' that require more space.
