Clarify (a lot) on the "one, two, ..." line. Better to link to MOS:NUM than [[MOS:#Numbers]], because the latter glosses over too much and needs to be rewritten to re-summarize the former better. ← Previous edit		Revision as of 10:53, 29 October 2023 view source SMcCandlish (talk \| contribs) Autopatrolled, Extended confirmed users, Page movers, File movers, New page reviewers, Pending changes reviewers, Rollbackers, Template editors 203,717 edits →Markup: Avoid "promoting" the format 'AD 565' since it doesn't actually dominate in our content.

Line 67: ==Markup== {{shortcut\|SMOS:MKP}} Instead of an ordinary space, use <code>&nbsp;</code> (a ''non-breaking space'') to prevent a line from ending in the middle of expressions like {{xt\|17 kg}}, {{xt\|AD565 ~~565~~BCE}}, {{xt\|2:50 pm}}, {{xt\|£11 billion}}, {{xt\|129 million}}, {{xt\|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}, {{xt\|5° 24′ 21.12″ N}}, or {{xt\|Boeing 747}}; also after the number in {{xt\|123 Fake Street}}, and before [[Roman numerals]] in {{xt\|World War II}} and {{xt\|Pope Benedict XVI}}. Use <code>&nbsp;</code> in the same way inside a wikilink. (An alternative: enclose the whole expression using the template {{tl\|nowrap}}.) {{Manual of Style/More\|NBSP}} It does not matter how many spaces come after a period because extra spaces will not show, although blank lines will create one extra line. {{Manual of Style/More\|#Spacing}}
