[edit] [purge] Template documentation

This is the bullet template; it looks like this: [ • ]

It works similarly to the HTML markup sequence: [ • ], that is, a non-breaking space, a bullet and a normal space.

This template is used when you want a larger bullet than a bold middot [·], but something smaller than an en dash [–].

This template's use for dotted lists is now deprecated

Normal usage

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

[[Salt]]{{•}} [[Pepper]]

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:

Salt • Pepper

The purpose of this is to ensure that, if the line breaks, it will do so on the right side of the bullet.
