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, plus left and right arrows.
d2- Second dash separator for bidirectional lists.
Dual separators
This template currently supports up to two different separators. For the primary separator, separate items by , followed by one or more spaces. An additional separator can be invoked by separating items using two commas (,,</code) followed by one or more spaces.
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).
