Usage

Use {{italics correction}} to increase the spacing (by 0.1em) following italic text to keep it from running into an immediately subsequent non-italic character, such as a closing parenthesis. The template takes one unnamed parameter: the text. It should be used within italics markup, which is not provided by this template itself.

Examples

Using the wiki markup (''Harbi'') without the template would produce (Harbi) with the italicized 'i' intruding into the ')'. ({{italics correction|''Harbi''}}) produces (Harbi) instead.
