Template:Space+parenthesis
)
 |
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
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
[kulemba source]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."
