Usage
[edit source]{{times}}
or
{{resx|horizontal|vertical}}
{{times}} and {{resx}} are intended for use as a multiplication sign and with display resolutions, respectively. This template substitutes for a multiplication sign with a thinspace on either side. Resolution numbers can also be entered (optionally) as parameters to the template. This has the advantage of preventing the resolution from being split across lines by word wrapping, which can occur when the numbers are outside the template.
| Example Usage | Output | Comment |
|---|---|---|
{{resx|1920|1080}}
{{resx|1920px|1080px}}
|
1920 × 1080
1920px × 1080px |
Including the numbers as arguments prevents word wrapping in the middle and uses the product of the numbers as a sort key in tables. This is the recommended syntax. |
1920{{resx}}1080 |
1920 × 1080 | With no arguments, the template outputs the multiplication sign enclosed by thin spaces. |
{{resx|1920x1080}} {{resx|1920X1080}} {{resx|1920*1080}} {{resx|1920×1080}} {{resx|1920 x 1080}} {{resx|1920 X 1080}} {{resx|1920 * 1080}} {{resx|1920 × 1080}} {{resx|1920 x 1080}}
(etc.) |
1920 × 1080 |
Single argument syntax is allowed, using a spaced or unspaced letter x, multiplication sign ×, or an asterisk *, to make converting existing articles to this template more convenient. Table sorting does not function with this syntax. |
{{resx|1920px x 1080px}} {{resx|1920px * 1080px}} {{resx|1920px × 1080px}} {{resx|1920x1080 px}} {{resx|1920*1080 px}} {{resx|1920×1080 px}} |
1920p × × 1080p ×
1920 × 1080 p × |
The letter x is converted aggressively |
