{{Template:Blockquote/SimpleMOS}}
The indenter '''Template:in5''' indents text by 5 spaces or
the count specified by parameter 1 (range: 1 to 50 spaces).
{| class="wikitable"
! Usage !! Indents by
|-
| {{tlc|in5}} {{in5|11}} || 5 spaces
|-
| {{tlc|in5|8}} {{in5|7}} || 8 spaces
|-
| {{tlc|in5|47}} {{in5}} || 47 spaces
|}
Spaces outside the double braces will add an extra space on either
side, such as the 12 spaces inserted by {{tlc|in5|10}}.

It does not insert a newline (line break). To use on a series of lines, add <code> </code> at the end of the line before (each) {{tnull|in5}}. You can also use a blank line before the {{tnull|in5}}, which will introduce a paragraph break.

==Examples==
The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing:
{| class="wikitable"
! Example !! Produces
|-
| <code><nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}</nowiki>zz</code> || xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}zz
|-
| <code><nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}</nowiki>zz</code> || xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}zz
|-
| <code><nowiki>aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}</nowiki>cc</code> || aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}cc
|-
| <code><nowiki>"32.0{{in5|7}}"</nowiki></code> || "32.0{{in5|7}}"
|}
Example 4 shows the ability to put trailing spaces, such as spaces after a number in a [[Help:Table|wikitable]] column (coded as: <code>| 32.0{{tnull|in5}} </code>). Typical numbers (with <code>align=right</code>), in a table column, often appear crowded at the right-hand side, so appending {{tnull|in5}} can improve readability, in tables with lines between columns.

==Comparison with letter-spacing==
To insert spacing {{em|between each character}} of any text, then <code>value unit</var>"></code> can be used. For example, with <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>, spanning the text "example" (not including the quotation marks), it would look like: "example". (Note that the spacing applies to the last character; the intended result might actually be to span the characters ''exampl'' only: "example".) The spacing <var>value</var> may express any number from 0 on; also fractions like <kbd>.45</kbd> are possible, and the <var>unit</var> may be <code>em</code> or any other standard HTML/CSS measurement unit (<code>pt</code>, <code>px</code>, <code>cm</code>, <code>mm</code>, <code>in</code>).
