Template:Absolute value

File:Test Template Info-Icon - Version (2).svg Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Yesno' not found. This template may be used to enclose text between two vertical bars (U+007C | VERTICAL LINE), such as to denote the absolute value. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the bars.

Usage[edit source]

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> When $| x | < 7$ , the function is positive. </syntaxhighlight> When $| x | < 7$ , the function is positive.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> The notation $| \cdot |$ means absolute value. </syntaxhighlight> The notation $| \cdot |$ means absolute value.

Alternatives[edit source]

This template is equivalent to enclosing the text between two {{pipe}} templates (plus padding of width similar to hair spaces around the argument) <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> When $| x | < 7$ , the function is positive. </syntaxhighlight> When $| x | < 7$ , the function is positive.
