This template may be used to enclose text between two pipes, typically denoting the absolute value.
Usage
When {{math|{{abs|''x''}} < 7}}, the function is positive.
When | x| < 7, the function is positive.
The notation {{math|{{abs}}}} means '''absolute value'''.
The notation | · | means absolute value.
Alternatives
This template is equivalent to enclosing the text between two {{pipe}} templates (and a hair space   to the left of the argument; a hair space being a 1.5 mu space, i.e. a 1/12 em space)
When {{math|{{pipe}} <!-- hair space -->''x''{{pipe}} < 7}}, the function is positive.
When | x| < 7, the function is positive.
