Template:M3/doc

Description

This template creates the cubic meter symbol (m³) by default preceded with a non-breaking space. It avoids a line-break between the m³ and the value or preceding text (Keeping them together on one line).

Syntax

<Value>{{m3|<no space>}}

Parameters

no space

Optional parameter to suppress the leading non-breaking space. Valid values ns and no space.

Sample

100{{m3}} gives...

100 m³

This value is in{{m3}} gives...

This value is in m³

Example of incorrect use

This value is in {{m3}}. gives...

This value is in  m³.

It is hard to see, but this results in 2 spaces between in and m³ and as one is a normal space when an automatic line-break occurs between in and the m³ they will be split over two lines.

Example where suppression of the non-breaking space is needed

({{m3|ns}}) gives...

(m³)

Not suppressing the non-breaking space here would lead to the strange looking ( m³).
