Template:Pars

( )

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template may be used to enclose text between two parentheses. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the parentheses.

Usage[edit]

{{Pars|s=200%|Content-inside-parentheses}} → (Content-inside-parentheses)

Places ( ) around the content: (Content-inside-parentheses)
Scales their size to 200%
- You can also use the units px, em, pt, or %
Adds small spaces immediately after ( and immediately before )

Parameters[edit]

This template has the following parameters

|1= (positional parameter) - the text that goes inside of the parentheses.
|s= or |2= - "s" stands for "size". size=SIZE（px, em, pt, or %. If |s=100% then the size of the parentheses is not changed (i.e. the parentheses have their usual size). If |s=200% (resp. |s=50%) then the parentheses are twice (resp. half) their usual size.
- You may use the positional parameter 2 instead of s (e.g. you may use {{Pars|text|50%}} in place of {{Pars|text|s=50%}}).
- If neither the parameter s nor 2 is assigned a value then the size of the parentheses is not changed (i.e. the parentheses have their usual size) and no call to the {{font}} template is made.

Examples[edit]

No arguments passed[edit]

This call {{math|{{pars}}}} produces parentheses.

This call $( )$ produces parentheses.

No resizing used and content is passed[edit]

If {{math|{{pars|X}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

Parentheses are resized and no content passed[edit]

If {{math|{{pars|2=210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $() < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

If {{math|{{pars|s=210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $() < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

Content is resized but parentheses aren't[edit]

If {{math|{{pars|{{large|X}}}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

Parentheses are resized but content isn't[edit]

If {{math|{{pars|X|210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

If {{math|{{pars|X|s=210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

Content and parentheses are resized. Using parameter s for size of parentheses[edit]

If {{math|{{pars|{{large|X}}|s=210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

Content and parentheses are resized. Passing arguments by their position[edit]

Here we indicate the size of the parentheses (as a percentage) by using parameter position number 2 rather than the named parameter |s=.

If {{math|{{pars|{{large|X}}|210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

This is equivalent to the following two lines:

If {{math|{{pars|1={{large|X}}|2=210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

If {{math|{{pars|{{large|X}}|2=210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(X) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

WARNING: in the following line, 1 is first set to {{large|X}} and then because "210" is the first unlabelled positional argument, the value of 1 is overwritten and replaced by "210" (which is why 210 appears inside the parentheses) while the positional argument 2 is never assigned a value (which is why the parentheses have their usual size). This is a documented quirk of Wikipedia templates that could occur with many templates that take two or more arguments.

If {{math|{{pars|1={{large|X}}|210%}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

If $(210%) < 0$ , then $X$ is negative.

WARNING: the following is NOT valid since it would attempt to place the text "210" inside the parentheses (this is because the positional parameter 1 is assigned the value 210) and then attempt to pass X as the percentage number to the template {{font}} (this is because the positional parameter 2 is assigned the value {{large|X}}) even though it is not a valid number.

If {{math|{{pars|210%|{{large|X}}}} < 0}}, then {{mvar|X}} is negative.

It results in the following ill-formed output:

If

<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size: X;color:black;background-color:transparent;;">(

210%<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:X;color:black;background-color:transparent;;">) < 0, then

X

is negative.
