Template:Dash/doc

This template converts a sequence separated by commas and spaces into one separated by dashes.

Parameters

{{{1}}}

Accepts one unnamed parameter, which is the list to be converted.

s

Specifies what space to be used. Can be set to the standard space, thin space, or hair ("extra thin") space.

d

Specifies what dash to use, with options for short, medium, and long dashes.

Usage

The list to be converted is passed as one unnamed argument, using a comma and one or more spaces (, ) as the separator.

To adjust spacing between list elements and dashes, use the spaces parameter (defaults to the regular space character).

You pass	You get
s=	Regular space
s=space
s=thin	Thin space (U+2009 THIN SPACE)
s=hair	Hair space (U+200A HAIR SPACE)

The dash used can be the regular hyphen-minus, an em dash, or an en dash. This is done with the sep parameter.

You pass	You get
d=	-
d=short
d=long	Em dash (U+2014 — EM DASH)
d=med	En dash (U+2013 – EN DASH)

Examples

You type	You get

{{dash|A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H|s=space|d=med}}	A – B – C – D – E – F – G – H
{{dash|A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H|s=thin|d=med}}	A – B – C – D – E – F – G – H

{{dash|A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H|s=thin|d=}}	A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H
{{dash|A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H|s=hair|d=}}	A - B - C - D - E - F - G - H
