Purpose/Usage

This is a short-form 'alias' for the template Template:Tl, which it calls, if necessary, with the default of '3', but will also accept a numeric argument and pass same onto space.

• 'space' is extremely useful to align things like 'monthname year' lists inside a table, but shoves the table innards around creating wrapped edit lines and disorganizing the columnar nature of such a flat table columnized list.

's', by defaulting to '3' ('NN') spaces thus takes up far less width and leaves the editor less confused by replacing either 'NN' '& nbsp ;' and/or '& emsp ;' HTML codes or the 'space' template width itself allowing one to finesse things like lining up the years between a column of dates or other unequal length text fields, and other such naturally misaligning tabular data.

for example

{{space|5}}<u>Heading one{{space|18}}Heading two:{{space|4}}</u>{{indent|5}}November 2005 <----------->{{space|5}}November 2005{{indent|5}}May 2006{{space|5}} <----------->{{space|6}}May{{space|7}}2006...Template:Indent(all a one line entry, or can be spaced out some) gives:

Template:SpaceHeading oneTemplate:SpaceHeading two:Template:Space Template:IndentNovember 2005 <----------->Template:SpaceNovember 2005Template:IndentMay 2006Template:Space <----------->Template:SpaceMayTemplate:Space2006

Note {{#if

Template:IndentSee also Template:Tl && Template:Tl and it's shortform Template:Tl. All do not give an absolutely calculable display due to the working of wiki system display software, which abhors double whitespace and whitespace clarity, but are effective work-arounds once a text line length is established... which seem to be parsed for display back to front by wiki system software.
