== Usage ==
Use {{tl|pad}} to insert a horizontally padding HTML {{tag|span|open}} inline. The template takes one unnamed parameter; a width value specified in <tt>[[wpen:Pixel|px]]</tt>, <tt>[[wpen:Em (typography)|em]]</tt> or <tt>[[wpen:x-height|ex]]</tt> (other CSS units&nbsp;– in, cm, pc, pt&nbsp;– are supported as well, but not recommended, typically at 96dpi conversion ratio). The default is <tt>1 em</tt>.

'''The result is the specified padding followed by an &amp;nbsp;''' ([[wpen:non-breaking space]]&nbsp;– at 100% font size (8pt), typically 3px wide in narrow fonts like Arial and Tahoma, 4px in wider fonts like Arial Black and Verdana).

==Examples==
Indenting by 50 pixels plus an &amp;nbsp; (53px in Arial):
* <code>Indenting 50px causes<nowiki><br />{{pad|50px}}</nowiki>this amount of space.</code>
''Produces:''
* Indenting 50px causes<br />{{pad|50px}}this amount of space.


Width of a typical year-range in Arial font (4.8em plus an &amp;nbsp;):
*<code>1492–1540 Exploration by<nowiki><br />{{pad|4.8em}}</nowiki>Columbus & others.</code>
''Produces:''
* 1492–1540 Exploration by<br />{{pad|4.8em}}Columbus & others.


However, some digits require less space:
*<code>1111–1117 Exploration by<nowiki><br />{{pad|4.4em}}</nowiki>Explorer Bob.</code>
''Produces:''
* 1111–1117 Exploration by<br />{{pad|4.4em}}Explorer Bob.


Spacing is, of course, different between fonts, too:

* {{Font|This is text 0123456789 in Arial<br/>{{Pad|100px}}and this is indented by 100px + 1 &amp;nbsp;<br/>{{Pad|9em}}and this is indented by 9em + 1 &amp;nbsp;|font=Arial}}<br/>
* {{Font|This is text 0123456789 in Times New Roman<br/>{{Pad|100px}}and this is indented by 100px+ 1 &amp;nbsp;<br/>{{Pad|9em}}and this is indented by 9em + 1 &amp;nbsp;|font=Times New Roman}}<br/>
* {{Font|This is text 0123456789 in Arial Black<br/>{{Pad|100px}}and this is indented by 100px + 1 &amp;nbsp;<br/>{{Pad|9em}}and this is indented by 9em + 1 &amp;nbsp;|font=Arial Black}}<br/>
* {{Font|This is text 0123456789 in Lucida Console<br/>{{Pad|100px}}and this is indented by 100px+ 1 &amp;nbsp;<br/>{{Pad|9em}}and this is indented by 9em + 1 &amp;nbsp;|font=Lucida Console}}<br/>

''Note: 1em is typically 11.2px at 100% font size (8 point), 21.3px at 200% font size (16 point), and 32px at 300% font size (24pt).''

* {{tlx|spaces|n}} - to space by a few spaces, such as <code><nowiki>{{spaces|7}}</nowiki></code>
