This is a documentation subpage for Template:Hyphen. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is safe for use in citation templates that produce COinS metadata; see Wikipedia:COinS. If HTML or other markup is added, then the template must be reevaluated. |
This is a hyphen (-). It has the same function as the code -
or the symbol -. It comes in handy when an editor wishes to make explicit that they really do intend a hyphen, to discourage other editors from changing it to an ndash or other punctuation, or when using an explicit hyphen may cause technical issues, such as with the -{
wiki syntax for language converter. By allowing {{hyphen}}
to be coded instead of -
, it avoids objections to HTML escaping. (There does not seem to be a symbolic escape e.g. ‐
.)
