خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "High-use". خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Shortcut".


This is the bold middot template, which produces: " · ". It works similarly to the html+wiki markup sequence [ '''·''' ]. That is, a non-breaking space, a bolded middot and a normal space.

This template is used when you want something smaller than a bullet "•", or ndash "–".

This template's use for dotted lists is now deprecated. Use {{Flatlist}} or class="hlist" instead; see WP:HLIST.

Here's an example of how it's used

Normally, in a real box these items would be links, but this is an example.

Item1

This is the bold middot template, it looks like this: " · ".

It works similarly to the html+wiki markup sequence " '''·''' ". That is, a non-breaking space, a bolded middot and a normal space.

{{dot}} and {{middot}} redirect here and can be used as alternative names for this template.

This template is usually used for dotted lists, such as for link lists in navigation boxes. (For lists that have a font-size 80% or less of normal font-size, the bold middot "·" becomes too small. Then use the bullet "•" instead.)

This template is used when you want something smaller than a bullet "•", "–" or "—".

Normal usage

The recommended usage is to use no space before the template and one space after the template, like this:

Salt{{·}} Pepper

The template can also be used with no space after it, but then the code does not wrap in the edit window thus making editing harder. Like this:

Salt{{·}}Pepper

Both examples will render one space on each side of the dot, like this:

Salt · Pepper

If it line breaks then the line break will come after the dot, not before, like this:

Salt ·
Pepper

For long dotted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with no spaces between each item and the template. Like this:

 Salt{{·}}
 Pepper{{·}}
 Curry{{·}}
 Saffron

(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 dots, like this:

Salt · Pepper · Curry · Saffron

And if it line breaks then the line break will come after one of the dots, not before, like this:

Salt · Pepper ·
Curry · Saffron

When using the template to separate words in italics (typically lists of artworks in navboxes), put it within the italics to display with proper spacing on both sides. Compare:

''Salt''{{·}} ''Pepper''
''Salt{{·}} Pepper''
Salt · Pepper
Salt · Pepper

(This also improves code brevity and clarity.)

Usage issues

Putting one or more spaces before the template will cause it to render differently, like these examples:

Salt {{·}}Pepper
Salt   {{·}}Pepper
Salt {{·}} Pepper
Salt   {{·}}   Pepper

Then it will render with two spaces before the dot, and one after, like this:

Salt  · Pepper]

And if it line breaks it might break before the dot, like this:

Salt
· Pepper

Alternatively an   can be added before and after the template to create extra padding around the middot.

Technical details

The space before the dot is a non-breaking space. That means it will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template.

The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.

Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in.

This template is used when you want something smaller than a bullet "•", "–" or "—".

Normal usage

The recommended usage is to use no space before the template and one space after the template, like this:

Salt{{·}} Pepper

The template can also be used with no space after it, but then the code does not wrap in the edit window thus making editing harder. Like this:

Salt{{·}}Pepper

Both examples will render one space on each side of the dot, like this:

Salt · Pepper

If it line breaks then the line break will come after the dot, not before, like this:

Salt ·
Pepper

For long dotted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with no spaces between each item and the template. Like this:

 Salt{{·}}
 Pepper{{·}}
 Curry{{·}}
 Saffron

(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 dots, like this:

Salt · Pepper · Curry · Saffron

And if it line breaks then the line break will come after one of the dots, not before, like this:

Salt · Pepper ·
Curry · Saffron

When using the template to separate words in italics (typically lists of artworks in navboxes), put it within the italics to display with proper spacing on both sides. Compare:

''Salt''{{·}} ''Pepper''
''Salt{{·}} Pepper''
Salt · Pepper
Salt · Pepper

(This also improves code brevity and clarity.)

Usage issues

Putting one or more spaces before the template will cause it to render differently, like these examples:

Salt {{·}}Pepper
Salt   {{·}}Pepper
Salt {{·}} Pepper
Salt   {{·}}   Pepper

Then it will render with two spaces before the dot, and one after, like this:

Salt  · Pepper]

And if it line breaks it might break before the dot, like this:

Salt
· Pepper

Alternatively an &nbsp; can be added before and after the template to create extra padding around the middot.

Technical details

The space before the dot is a non-breaking space. That means it will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template.

The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.

Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in.

And if it line breaks then the line break will come after one of the dots, not before, like this:

Salt · Pepper ·
Curry · Saffron

When using the template to separate words in italics (typically lists of artworks in navboxes), put it within the italics to display with proper spacing on both sides. Compare:

''Salt''{{·}} ''Pepper''
''Salt{{·}} Pepper''
Salt · Pepper
Salt · Pepper

(This also improves code brevity and clarity.)

Usage issues

Putting one or more spaces before the template will cause it to render differently, like these examples:

Salt {{·}}Pepper
Salt   {{·}}Pepper
Salt {{·}} Pepper
Salt   {{·}}   Pepper

Then it will render with two spaces before the dot, and one after, like this:

Salt  · Pepper]

And if it line breaks it might break before the dot, like this:

Salt
· Pepper

Alternatively an &nbsp; can be added before and after the template to create extra padding around the middot.

Technical details

The space before the dot is a non-breaking space. That means it will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template.

The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.

Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in.

This is the bold middot template, it looks like this: " · ".

It works similarly to the html+wiki markup sequence "&nbsp;'''&middot;''' ". That is, a non-breaking space, a bolded middot and a normal space.

{{dot}} and {{middot}} redirect here and can be used as alternative names for this template.

This template is usually used for dotted lists, such as for link lists in navigation boxes. (For lists that have a font-size 80% or less of normal font-size, the bold middot "·" becomes too small. Then use the bullet "•" instead.)

This template is used when you want something smaller than a bullet "•", "–" or "—".

Normal usage

The recommended usage is to use no space before the template and one space after the template, like this:

Salt{{·}} Pepper

The template can also be used with no space after it, but then the code does not wrap in the edit window thus making editing harder. Like this:

Salt{{·}}Pepper

Both examples will render one space on each side of the dot, like this:

The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.

Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in.

There are several other templates with similar functionality:

  • {{}} – Bullet "•" is mostly used for dotted lists that use small font sizes.

When making dotted lists you might need to handle proper word wrapping (line breaking):

Item12

This is the bold middot template, it looks like this: " · ".

It works similarly to the html+wiki markup sequence "&nbsp;'''&middot;''' ". That is, a non-breaking space, a bolded middot and a normal space.

{{dot}} and {{middot}} redirect here and can be used as alternative names for this template.

This template is usually used for dotted lists, such as for link lists in navigation boxes. (For lists that have a font-size 80% or less of normal font-size, the bold middot "·" becomes too small. Then use the bullet "•" instead.)

This template is used when you want something smaller than a bullet "•", "–" or "—".

Normal usage

The recommended usage is to use no space before the template and one space after the template, like this:

Salt{{·}} Pepper

The template can also be used with no space after it, but then the code does not wrap in the edit window thus making editing harder. Like this:

Salt{{·}}Pepper

Both examples will render one space on each side of the dot, like this:

Salt · Pepper

If it line breaks then the line break will come after the dot, not before, like this:

Salt ·
Pepper

For long dotted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with no spaces between each item and the template. Like this:

 Salt{{·}}
 Pepper{{·}}
 Curry{{·}}
 Saffron

(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 dots, like this:

Salt · Pepper · Curry · Saffron

And if it line breaks then the line break will come after one of the dots, not before, like this:

Salt · Pepper ·
Curry · Saffron

When using the template to separate words in italics (typically lists of artworks in navboxes), put it within the italics to display with proper spacing on both sides. Compare:

''Salt''{{·}} ''Pepper''
''Salt{{·}} Pepper''
Salt · Pepper
Salt · Pepper

(This also improves code brevity and clarity.)

Usage issues

Putting one or more spaces before the template will cause it to render differently, like these examples:

Salt {{·}}Pepper
Salt   {{·}}Pepper
Salt {{·}} Pepper
Salt   {{·}}   Pepper

Then it will render with two spaces before the dot, and one after, like this:

Salt  · Pepper]

And if it line breaks it might break before the dot, like this:

Salt
· Pepper

Alternatively an &nbsp; can be added before and after the template to create extra padding around the middot.

  • {{}} – Bullet "•" is mostly used for dotted lists that use small font sizes.

When making dotted lists you might need to handle proper word wrapping (line breaking): ,  · , or  – 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 bolded middot (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 separator hangs onto the prior item instead of rolling over to the next line. Notice on the end of this box, the dot symbol "·" 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 dot will fit. See the column on the right. In code it's Item1{{dot}} Item2{{dot}} Item3{{dot}} Item4{{dot}} Item5{{dot}} 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.

Technical details

The space before the dot is a non-breaking space. That means it will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template.

The space after the dot is a normal space. That means it wraps (allows line breaks) and it will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template to form one single space.

Under some circumstances dotted link lists misbehave. They might get unexpected line wraps or they might expand outside the box they are enclosed in. The how-to guide Wikipedia:Line-break handling explains when that happens and how to fix it.
