Template:Absolute value/doc

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

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

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> The notation | · | means absolute value. </syntaxhighlight> The notation | · | means absolute value.

Alternatives

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.
