Template:Abs
Revision as of 05:02, 3 August 2017 by blackwiki>Quondum (replacing hair spaces with HTML padding; results should be more consistent over all fonts, and if copied using an editor, will not include spaces)
This template may be used to enclose text between two vertical bars (Template:Unichar), such as to denote the absolute value. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the bars.
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 (plus padding of width similar to hair spaces around the argument)
When {{math|{{pipe}} <!-- hair space -->''x'' {{pipe}} < 7}}, the function is positive.
When | x | < 7, the function is positive.
