This is the triangular bullet template, it looks like this " ‣ ".
It works similarly to the HTML markup sequence " ‣ ". That is, a non-breaking space (which will not line break and will not collapse together with normal spaces that come before the template), a triangular bullet, and a normal space (will collapse together with normal spaces that come after the template).
This template is used when you want something different from a bullet "•", middot "·", en dash "–", or em dash "—".
Normal usage[]
The recommended usage is to use no space before the template and one space after the template, like this:
Salt{{triangular bullet}} Pepper
It will render one space on each side of the bullet, like this:
- Salt ‣ Pepper
If it line breaks then the line break will come after the bullet, not before, like this:
- Salt ‣
- Pepper
For long bulleted lists each list item can be put on its own line, with no spaces between each item and the template. Like this:
Salt{{triangular bullet}}
Pepper{{triangular bullet}}
Curry{{triangular bullet}}
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 bullets, like this:
- Salt ‣ Pepper ‣ Curry ‣ Saffron
And if it line breaks then the line break will come after one of the bullets, not before, like this:
- Salt ‣ Pepper ‣
- Curry ‣ Saffron
Incorrect usage[]
If the template is used slightly wrong it will in some cases still behave well. For instance if there are no or several spaces after the template. Like these examples:
Salt{{triangular bullet}}Pepper
Salt{{triangular bullet}} Pepper
Both of them will render exactly as before, with just one space on each side of the bullet, like this:
- Salt ‣ Pepper
And it will still only line break after the bullet, like this:
- Salt ‣
- Pepper
But putting one or more spaces before the template will cause problems, like these examples:
Salt {{triangular bullet}}Pepper
Salt {{triangular bullet}}Pepper
Salt {{triangular bullet}} Pepper
Salt {{triangular bullet}} Pepper
Then it will render with two spaces before the bullet, and one after, like this:
- Salt ‣ Pepper
And if it line breaks it might break before the bullet, like this:
- Salt
- ‣ Pepper
Also, this template should not routinely be used in regular article text.
