| Consider the mock template {{tlf|Linguist}}. It has a fixed string, "''He speaks Greek''", and an optional sub-string, "''and Latin''", which is included if the parameter {{para|latin}} is specified. The code for the template looks like this:
| | <table style="border: 0px none transparent;"> |
| * {{code|He speaks Greek<nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|and Latin}}</nowiki>.}}
| | <tr style="font-weight: bold;"> |
| | | <td>{{{1}}}</td> |
| If the parameter {{para|latin}} is left out, i.e. the template is called with the code string {{tlc|Linguist}}, the output looks alright:
| | </tr> |
| * {{samp|He speaks Greek.}}
| | <tr style="margin-bottom: 0.75em;"> |
| But, we want to include the sub-string, so in the examples below, it is assumed that the template is called with the code string {{tlc|Linguist|latin{{=}}yes}}. Inserted spaces are coloured <span style="background-color: orange;">orange</span>.
| | <td style="width: 200px; margin-right: 1em; text-indent: 1.63em; font-style: italic;">{{{2}}}</td> |
| | | <td>{{{3}}}</td> |
| ;<big>Adding a space to the template</big>
| | </tr> |
| ;1. No additional space
| | </table> |
| If no space at all is included, the words ''Greek'' and ''and'' will be merged.
| |
| {| border="0" | |
| |-
| |
| | {{code|He speaks Greek<nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|and Latin}}</nowiki>.}} || → || {{samp|He speaks Greekand Latin.}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ;2. Space inside function
| |
| Including a space inside the function will give the same result as in example 1, since (as mentioned above) all leading and trailing spaces are trimmed.
| |
| {| border="0"
| |
| |-
| |
| | <code>He speaks Greek<nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|</nowiki><span style="background-color: orange;"> </span><nowiki>and Latin}}</nowiki>.</code> || → || {{samp|He speaks Greekand Latin.}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ;3. Space outside function | |
| If the space instead is placed outside the function, the template will work when including the sub-string …
| |
| {| border="0"
| |
| |-
| |
| | <code>He speaks Greek<span style="background-color: orange;"> </span><nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|and Latin}}</nowiki>.</code> || → || {{samp|He speaks Greek and Latin.}}
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| … but, if {{para|latin}} is left out, this code will output a space between the last word and the full stop:
| |
| * {{samp|He speaks Greek .}}
