This template was designed to be used in creating well-formated lists of links in footer navagation boxes with adjacent items set apart by mid-dots (or other separators).

Its key feature is that individual items which contain spaces will not end up broken between two lines and hence be harder for the reader to recognize. Rather, line breaks will only occur immediately after the separator.

An example of such a box follows.

[edit] Basic Example

The basic usage, and probably most useful, is simply a list of items, which will normally be links, marked off by the pipe symbol (|), with exactly one space, and no carriage returns, on each side of it.

[edit] Example with ‘special’ characters

Certain characters need special handling:

• = (the equals sign) cannot be used directly but needs to be replaced by {{Equals}} or (equivalently) the HTML entity =
• | (the pipe symbol) works just fine within a piped link, but otherwise replace it with {{!}}

:| title = Equalities :| separator = {{!}} :| III {{equals}} 3 | XX {{equals}} 20 | MCMLIII {{equals}} 1953 | IV {{equals}} 4 | XX1 = 21 - 0 | IV = 2²}}

[edit] Example with an image used as separator

You probably shouldn’t, but you can use an image to separate the list items

| separator = [[Image:Dot10.png]]

[edit] Applying styles to the separator

Here the separator is a the heart character (Unicode: 2665), with the colour set to red. Not a very good thing to do: but documented.

| separator = <span style=color:red;font-size:.8em;>♥</span>

Template loop detected: User:Ian Spackman/NowrapList/doc

Here the separator is a couple of shape characters in white with a drop-shadow. But don’t do it if you want to preservea modicum of inter-platform compatibility!

| separator = <span style="color:white; text-shadow:black 0px 0px 6px;">◢◣</span>

Compare the above to the following. Resize your window and watch the word-wrapping behaviour. (Incidentally you may spot another difference: this template uses a plain mid-dot as a divider while {{·}} emboldens it.)

[edit] C source

The template was generated using the following code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
        int max = 200;
        int i;
        printf("{{ #if:{{{2|}}}\n");
        for (i=1; i<=max; i++) {
                printf("|{{Nowrap|{{{%d}}}·}}| {{{%d|}}}}}{{#if:{{{%d|}}}\n", i, i, i + 2);
        }
        printf("|{{Nowrap|{{{%d}}}·}}| {{{%d|}}}}}", i, i);
        printf("<noinclude>\n");
        printf("{{/doc}}\n");
        printf("</noinclude>");
        return 0;
}

[edit] Applying styles to the separator

Here the separator is a the heart character (Unicode: 2665), with the colour set to red. Not a very good thing to do: but documented.

| separator = <span style=color:red;font-size:.8em;>♥</span>

This template was designed to be used in creating well-formated lists of links in footer navagation boxes with adjacent items set apart by mid-dots (or other separators).

Its key feature is that individual items which contain spaces will not end up broken between two lines and hence be harder for the reader to recognize. Rather, line breaks will only occur immediately after the separator.

An example of such a box follows.

[edit] Examples

[edit] Basic Example

The basic usage, and probably most useful, is simply a list of items, which will normally be links, marked off by the pipe symbol (|), with exactly one space, and no carriage returns, on each side of it.

[edit] Example with title and custom separator character

Using the same list as before, but adding title and separator parameters

| title = settlements

| separator = •

[edit] Example with ‘special’ characters

Certain characters need special handling:

• = (the equals sign) cannot be used directly but needs to be replaced by {{Equals}} or (equivalently) the HTML entity &#x3D;
• | (the pipe symbol) works just fine within a piped link, but otherwise replace it with {{!}}

:| title = Equalities :| separator = {{!}} :| III {{equals}} 3 | XX {{equals}} 20 | MCMLIII {{equals}} 1953 | IV {{equals}} 4 | XX1 = 21 - 0 | IV = 2²}}

[edit] Example with an image used as separator

You probably shouldn’t, but you can use an image to separate the list items

| separator = [[Image:Dot10.png]]

Here the separator is a couple of shape characters in white with a drop-shadow. But don’t do it if you want to preservea modicum of inter-platform compatibility!
