Editing Template:•/doc (section)

== Normal usage ==
The recommended usage is to use ''no'' space before the template and one space after the template, like this:
 <nowiki>[[Atrus]]{{&bull;}} [[Catherine]]</nowiki>

Because the template ''contains'' a non-breaking space on the left side, the text will render one space on each side of the bullet, like this:
:[[Atrus]] &bull; [[Catherine]]

The purpose of this is to ensure that, if the line breaks, it will do so on the right side of the bullet.
:[[Atrus]] &bull; 
:[[Catherine]]

|Colspan=2 |<center>Here's an example of how it's used</center>
|-
|| Template Bull is not really intended to be used in article text; it's intended for use in other templates, tables, lists and other equivalent things, in order to include a separator between items such as in infoboxes. It's also to be consistent so that the article editor can use their choice of '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bull}}''', '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>dot}}''', '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>middot}}''', or  '''<nowiki>{{</nowiki>ndash}}''' and not have to insert the {{bull}}, {{dot}}, {{middot}}, or {{ndash}}  symbol, they can use any of these as a simple macro.  The idea being that if you have a table with a list of items, you can insert a bullet (or the other symbols) between items that will appear correct, in that the items always have just one separator between them, and when a list crawls to the next line, the bullet hangs onto the prior item instead of rolling over to the next line.  Notice on the end of this box, the bullet symbol "&bull;" hangs on the end of the last item that will fit on the line indicating that additional items follow on the next line as part of this list, but the item only stays on the line if the item and the dash will fit.  See the column on the right.  In code it's ''' Item1<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bull}} Item2<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bull}} Item3<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bull}} Item4<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bull}} Item5<nowiki>{{</nowiki>bull}}''' etc. (with some smaller items squeezed in to show that the list doesn't have to be the same number of items per line) but in the box they all fold perfectly once it runs out of space on the line to fit the next item and the symbol following.
| <p>Normally, in a real box these items would be links, but this is an example.</p> Item1{{bull}} A{{bull}} B{{bull}} Item2{{bull}} Item3{{bull}} Item4{{bull}} Item5{{bull}} extra item{{bull}} E{{bull}} 1{{bull}} 2{{bull}} 3{{bull}} 4{{bull}} 5{{bull}} 6{{bull}} 7{{bull}} {{nowrap|item that won't attach to prior line unless it fits in the remaining space{{bull}}}} Q{{bull}} A slightly longer item{{bull}} KK{{bull}} An obviously really even longer item that the bullet will hang at its end{{bull}} Item6{{bull}} C{{bull}} Item7{{bull}} Item8{{bull}} Item9{{bull}} Item10{{bull}} Item11{{bull}} Item12{{bull}} D{{bull}} Item13{{bull}} Item14{{bull}} Item15{{bull}} Item16{{bull}} Item17{{bull}} Item18 <p>The space on the end makes sure the bullet doesn't touch the edge of the box, either</p>
