Template:S

space

Purpose/Usage
This is a short-form 'alias' for the template space, which it calls, if necessary, with the default of '3', but will also accept a numeric argument and pass same onto space.


 * 'space' is extremely useful to align things like 'monthname year' lists inside a table, but shoves the table innards around creating wrapped edit lines and disorganizing the columnar nature of such a flat table columnized list.


 * 's', by defaulting to '3' ('NN') spaces thus takes up far less width and leaves the editor less confused by replacing either 'NN' ' & nbsp ; ' and/or ' & emsp ; ' HTML codes or the 'space' template width itself allowing one to finesse things like lining up the years between a column of dates or other unequal length text fields, and other such naturally misaligning tabular data.

Heading oneHeading two:    November 2005 <--->November&emsp;2005    May 2006 <--->May2006 ... (all a one line entry, or can be spaced out some) gives: Heading oneHeading two: November 2005 <--->November&emsp;2005   May 2006 <--->May2006
 * for example:


 * Note technical limitations do not show the above columns properly aligned as do more advanced browsers.
