Template talk:Thin space

Latest comment: 3 years ago by Carnby in topic Problems with =

Changed   to {{unicode| }}

edit

The HTML character entity   does not display correctly in the Opera browser. I used {{unicode}} to workaround the problem. I could have used {{thinsp}} but that would have increased the "post-expand include size". –droll [chat] 01:23, 29 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

@Droll: Is this fixed now? Opera team here says the bug (marked as "CORE-28671") is fixed. A drupal forum suggested it depends on the font used. Editing templates, don't want to mess us people's browsers. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 07:54, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
This template is not being used and I'll probably ask that it be deleted. I posted the above message some time ago and I don't remember what it was all about. –droll [chat] 08:07, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, no real harm in keeping things where they're at; if someone has a problem I'm sure they'll bring it up on talk pages. meteor_sandwich_yum (talk) 08:41, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 24 May 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Merged with {{Thin space}}. I'm going to perform page swap (but not talk pages), so that Tholme's final template ends up at {{Thin space}} per naming conventions, but has the current functionality of {{Thinspace}} (to be redirected here). If I screw something up, well, that would be your fault for not listing this at WP:TFD. No such user (talk) 09:12, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply


Template:ThinspaceTemplate:Thin space separated entries – Having two different templates with the only difference in name being different punctuation is highly confusing as seen at the recent TfD nomination. It is also listed as a bad practice at WP:TPN. The suggested name better reflects what this template does following the same naming convention as {{Br separated entries}} and {{Space separated entries}}. The current name should be turned into a redirect to {{Thin space}} after updating transclusions. --Trialpears (talk) 22:45, 24 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Problems with =

edit

I encountered problems in using this template with the symbol =, e.g. {{thinspace|x|=|5}} renders x 5 instead of x=5. Is there a way to work around this?--Carnby (talk) 05:59, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Generally, you can't use = in parameter values, because they are operators that tell the template what the parameter value is. Try this:
{{thinspace|x|{{=}}|5}}x = 5Jonesey95 (talk) 06:01, 3 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
