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, 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 (,,) followed by one or more spaces.
There are two special cases that are supported, in the case of chains of intervals:
d=iarr- Sets the primary separator to the right arrow (
→) and the secondary separator to the left arrow (←).
d=oarr- Sets the primary separator to the left arrow (
←) and the secondary separator to the right arrow (→).
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).
