Template:Space+parenthesis

)

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Creates a spaced parenthesis so as to avoid text collisions, especially between italicized content and a closing non-italicized round bracket:

It has the short but not entirely intuitive short {{--)}} because both {{)}} and {{-)}} were already used by other templates.

Usage

Example:

"An equivalent French slang term (être calé{{--)}} is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

produces:

"An equivalent French slang term (être calé) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

instead of:

"An equivalent French slang term (être calé) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."
