Template:Spw
 | This template uses a See H:DIVSPAN for details. |
Usage
[edit]This is an complement to the {{sp}} and {{lsp}} templates intended to integrate letterspacing in body text where it is used similarly to italics.
The main difference is that it uses the CSS property word-spacing to keep the spacing between words the same as normal text (as such, it has a smaller default spacing of 0.1em to keep it readable). It also surrounds its contents with a specifiable HTML tag indicating that its different appearance is more than strictly aesthetic (for example, it may appear underlined in a terminal browser or receive).
Due to the implementation, if a different {{word-spacing}} is desired, it must be used inside the content.
Parameters
[edit]- 1: (Most of) the text to space out.
- 2: The last letter, which is not to be followed by letterspacing, but is part of the spaced-out text.
- w (optional): the width of the letter-spacing (in
emunits), default0.1. Word-spacing is reduced accordingly. - semantic (optional): The name of the HTML tag to use if the default of
iis not the closest fit; for instance,em(if spaced text indicates emphasis) orcite(if spaced text indicates a title). This is only important/different in theory, and can be safely ignored if one does not know the difference. - lang (optional): The language code if applicable (as a less featureful alternative to surrounding with {{lang}}).
- style (optional): Additional CSS properties.
Examples
[edit]Example
The {{spw|quick brown fo|x}} jumps over the {{spw|lazy do|g}}.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
A temporary normal spacing in the middle of spaced text (often used for punctuation) can be accomplished with {{lsp}}:
Example
{{spw|The Wel{{lsp|0|l-}}Tempered Clavie|r|w=0.075}}
The Well-Tempered Clavier
