Template:Spaced en dash/doc
From Timelines
Template:Template doc page viewed directly This template substitutes for the html markup sequence –, i.e. a short dash ("–") preceded by a non-breaking space.
Use
...blah{{ndash}} blah...
produces
...blahTemplate:Ndash blah...
Examples
Two possible uses for this template are (1) to avoid linewrap before a dash within a sentence, i.e.
...blah blah blah – blah blah...
rather than
...blah blah blah – blah blah...
...and (2) as a stronger list separator than the bold middot used by the {{·}} template. For something even stronger than {{ndash}}, try {{mdash}}, which uses the slightly longer mdash character ("—").
