< Template:Times

Usage

{{resx|horizontal|vertical}}

{{resx}} or {{times}} is intended for use with display resolutions. This template substitutes for a multiplication sign with a thinspace on either side. Resolution numbers can also be entered (optionally) as parameters to the template. This has the advantage of preventing the resolution from being split across lines by word wrapping, which can occur when the numbers are outside the template.

Example Usage Output Comment
{{resx|1920|1080}}
1920 × 1080 Including the numbers as arguments prevents word wrapping in the middle and uses the product of the numbers as a sort key in tables. This is the recommended syntax.
1920{{resx}}1080
1920 × 1080 With no arguments, the template outputs the multiplication sign enclosed by thin spaces.
{{resx|1920x1080}}
{{resx|1920*1080}}
{{resx|1920×1080}}
{{resx|1920 x 1080}}
{{resx|1920 × 1080}}
(etc.)
1920 × 1080 Single argument syntax is allowed, using a spaced or unspaced letter x, multiplication sign ×, or an asterisk *, to make converting existing articles to this template more convenient. Table sorting does not function with this syntax.
