Template:අකුරු අතර පරතරය/උපදෙස්

This is a documentation subpage for Template:අකුරු අතර පරතරය.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template uses a <span> element for formatting.
Block-based templates and paragraph breaks cannot be nested inside it.

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

Documentation edit

This template simplifies formatting text that has letter-spacing.

The shorthand of this template is {{lsp}} or {{lp}}.

There is also a shorthand named {{sp}} that only takes one parameter and always uses the spacing .15em.

Parameters edit

1 (optional): The letter spacing. Defaults to 0.15em. Always use text-relative units such as em; absolute units like px will not adjust themselves if the text size changes. See H:PXWIDTH for more details.
2: The text to be spaced.
3 (optional): Following unspaced text. Useful for following punctuation that butts up against the last character of the spaced text.

Extra pairs edit

This template optionally supports up to 5 spaced–unspaced pairs:

4–5
6–7
8–9
10–11

These can be useful for certain lines of text that contain several unspaced punctuation marks. Remember that letter spacing always applies to the right side of every letter.

If any of these contain leading or trailing spaces, use  , or they will be removed by the parser.

Examples edit

Spacing edit

Example: Default/explicit spacing (0.15em)

* {{අකුරු අතර පරතරය||your text goes here}}
* {{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|0.15em|your text goes here}}

your text goes here
your text goes here

Example: Custom spacing 1.5em)

{{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|1.5em|your text goes here}}

your text goes here

Example: Many pairs of spaced–unspaced text

{{lsp||Cha|p|. VI|I|: A New Beginnin|g.}}

Template:Lsp

Last characters edit

If you need to exclude the last character(s) of spaced text (usually due to excess padding) but still want these characters to be wrapped (usually for clearer syntax), you can use the third parameter, which passes its input as-is. Furthermore, you can use the rest of the parameter pairs for subsequent spaced sections.

In the following examples, the coloured boxes show the extent of the "spaced" text.

Several pairs edit

Comparison of syntax appearance:

These examples produce the same output, but the template syntax is clearer in the second:

{{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|1.5em|192}}2.

{{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|1.5em|192|2.}}

{{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|1.5em|Cha}}p.{{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|1.5em| I}}I.

{{අකුරු අතර පරතරය|1.5em|Cha|p.| I|I.}}
