Template:Floating right mark
°
This template (the shortcut {{frm}} is available) adds a floating mark to the right of right-aligned text. By default the template emits a degree symbol (°).
This is particularly useful for alignment in tables, for example where there is a unit symbol attached to the first cell in a right-aligned column.
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Usage
[edit]Add {{frm}} where the mark would be.
- Example
{|
|January ||{{ts|ar}}| 27{{frm}}
|-
|February ||{{ts|ar}}| 4
|-
|March ||{{ts|ar}}| 208
|}
| January | 27° |
| February | 4 |
| March | 208 |
If the template is used in a table, padding should be applied to the column (using page styles is recommended), otherwise the floating text is likely to overlap borders or the following column:
{| class="wikitable"
|colspan="2"| Without padding ||colspan="2"| With padding
|-
|{{ts|ar}}| 27{{frm}} || Medium ||{{ts|ar|pr1}}| 27{{frm}} || Medium
|-
|{{ts|ar}}| 4 || Low ||{{ts|ar|pr1}}| 4 || Low
|-
|{{ts|ar}}| 208 || High ||{{ts|ar|pr1}}| 208 || High
|}
| Without padding | With padding | ||
| 27° | Medium | 27° | Medium |
| 4 | Low | 4 | Low |
| 208 | High | 208 | High |
Character override
[edit]The first parameter overrides the default degree symbol (°) with the text specified, for example:
{|
|April ||{{ts|ar}}| 136
|-
|May ||{{ts|ar}}| 26{{frm|¼}}
|-
|June ||{{ts|ar}}| 37
|}
| April | 136 |
| May | 26¼ |
| June | 37 |
This is useful when references appear in tables:
{|
|North ||{{ts|ar}}| 208
|-
|West ||{{ts|ar}}| 56{{frm|<ref>Including northwest.</ref>}}
|-
|East ||{{ts|ar}}| 9
|-
|South ||{{ts|ar}}| 137
|}
| North | 191 |
| West | 56[1] |
| East | 9 |
| South | 137 |
- ↑ Including northwest.
Spacing
[edit]The second parameter specifies the gap between the text to be floated on the right and the text before it, for example:
{|
|July ||{{ts|ar}}| 58{{frm|°|0.2em}}
|-
|August ||{{ts|ar}}| 56
|-
|September ||{{ts|ar}}| 54
|}
| July | 58° |
| August | 56 |
| September | 54 |
