Template:Dot

Usage

This version of the Dot template can produce all common forms of Dots or Boxes. Please note that for backwards compatibility with the old template, some default values may not be the most commonly-used values (e.g., the total number of dots).

Simple 5-dot Version

{{Dot|3|5}}

{{#iferror:{{#expr:1*3}}|3|{{#ifexpr:{{#if:|1|0}} and ((3>5) or (5>5)) |  |{{#{{}}}}

Simple 10-dot Version

{{Dot|7}}

{{#iferror:{{#expr:1*7}}|7|{{#ifexpr:{{#if:|1|0}} and ((7>5) or (10>5)) |  |{{#if:|{{#}}}}

Spaced 10-dot Version

{{Dot|7|separator=1}}

{{#iferror:{{#expr:1*7}}|7|{{#ifexpr:{{#if:1|1|0}} and ((7>5) or (10>5)) |  |{{#if:|{{#}}}}

Simple 10-box Version

{{Dot|7|boxes=1}}

{{#iferror:{{#expr:1*7}}|7|{{#ifexpr:{{#if:|1|0}} and ((7>5) or (10>5)) |  |{{#if:1{{#}}}}

No Trailing Hollow Characters

{{Dot|3|0}} (preferred) or {{Dot|3|5|hollowchar=}}

{{#iferror:{{#expr:1*3}}|3|{{#ifexpr:{{#if:|1|0}} and ((3>5) or (0>5)) |  |{{#}}}}

{{#iferror:{{#expr:1*3}}|3|{{#ifexpr:{{#if:|1|0}} and ((3>5) or (5>5)) |  |{{#}}}}

Please note that the first style is much easier for the wiki to produce, especially when producing 5 dots or less, and is therefore the preferred method. The second method will also work, however, and may be preferable in some situations such as a template that needs to be flexible about what parameters it's passing.
