Template:Space+parenthesis/doc

Template:COinS safe Creates a spaced parenthesis so as to avoid text collisions, especially between italicized content and a closing non-italicized round bracket:

It has the short but not entirely intuitive short {{Template:Space+parenthesis}} because both {{)}} and {{Template:Smiley}} were already used by other templates.

Usage

Example:

"An equivalent French slang term (Template:Lang{{Template:Space+parenthesis}} is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

produces:

"An equivalent French slang term (Template:Lang) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."

instead of:

"An equivalent French slang term (Template:Lang) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."
