Editing Template:\/doc (section)

== Usage ==

To maintain good linewrapping, there should be no space between the template and whatever precedes it. There's also no need to include a space after the template, although doing so should not affect its function.
: <code><nowiki>[[Atrus]]{{\}}[[Catherine]]</nowiki></code> &nbsp;...produces...&nbsp; [[Atrus]]{{\}}[[Catherine]]

If linewrapping (i.e. a line-break) is required, the template ensures it occurs ''after'' the slash, not before:
:[[Atrus]] / 
:[[Catherine]]

For long slashed lists, each list item can be put on its own line with no spaces between each item and the template, like this:
 <pre><nowiki>
 [[Atrus]]{{\}}
 [[Catherine]]{{\}}
 [[Sirrus]]{{\}}
 [[Achenar]]</nowiki></pre>

(It doesn't matter if there are no or some spaces at the end of the lines, after the templates.)

As before, it will render one space on each side of the slashes, like this:
:[[Atrus]] / [[Catherine]] / [[Sirrus]] / [[Achenar]]

Also, if it line breaks, then the line break will come ''after'' one of the slashes, not before, like this:
:[[Atrus]] / [[Catherine]] / 
:[[Sirrus]] / [[Achenar]]

===Incorrect usage===
If the template is used slightly wrong, it will, in some cases, still behave well. For instance, if there are zero or several spaces after the template, like these examples:

 <nowiki>[[Atrus]]{{\}}[[Catherine]]</nowiki>
 <nowiki>[[Atrus]]{{\}}   [[Catherine]]</nowiki>

Both of them will render exactly as before, with just one space on each side of the slash, like this:
:[[Atrus]] / [[Catherine]]

And it will still only line break ''after'' the slash, like this:
:[[Atrus]] / 
:[[Catherine]]

However, putting one or more spaces before the template will cause problems, like these examples:
 <nowiki>[[Atrus]] {{\}}[[Catherine]]</nowiki>
 <nowiki>[[Atrus]]   {{\}}[[Catherine]]</nowiki>
 <nowiki>[[Atrus]] {{\}} [[Catherine]]</nowiki>
 <nowiki>[[Atrus]]   {{\}}   [[Catherine]]</nowiki>

Then, it will render with ''two'' spaces before the slash and one after, like this:
:[[Atrus]] &nbsp;/ [[Catherine]]

Also, if it line breaks, it might break ''before'' the slash, like this:
:[[Atrus]] 
:&nbsp;/ [[Catherine]]
