Template:Wide space/doc

Usage
This template is used to introduce a wide space between two words. It is similar to gap, but the difference is that the space will not be applied at the start of a line if the text wraps, whereas "gap" will produce an indent. Similarly, the use of the &amp;emsp; entity will produce a space that disrupts the right-hand margin.

The effect of a wide space is often found in lists and verses in texts where line breaks were not used to separate lines of text.

It will copy-paste as a single normal space.

Parameters

 * : The spacing to apply: default "2em" (same as gap).

The wsp shortcut takes the same parameters.

Shortcuts
You can use wsp1 shortcut to insert a 1em space.

Examples
Lorem ipsumdolor sit amet Lorem ipsumdolor sit amet

Lorem ipsumdolor sit amet Lorem ipsumdolor sit amet

Example compared to gap
This is a poem typeset with gap (outlined in red)



As you can see, this is reserving its 2em of space even at the end of a line. If you instead wish the "gap" would behave like a normal space as disappear at the end of the line, use wsp:



However, if the space did not occur at line's end, it will still show as a wider space:
