A template to produce one or more [[non-breaking space]]s (<code>&amp;nbsp;</code> character entities).

== Usage ==
=== Syntax ===
{{larger|<code><nowiki>{{spaces|</nowiki>''N''{{!}}''type''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>}} produces ''N'' consecutive non-breaking spaces (where ''N'' is a [[Integer|whole number]] larger than zero) of the type specified by the second parameter (which are ordered by decreasing space width): <code>em</code>, <code>fig</code>, <code>en</code>, <code>thin</code>, <code>hair</code>. If type is not specified, ''N'' non-breaking spaces (<syntaxhighlight inline lang=xml>&nbsp;</syntaxhighlight>) are produced. A non-breaking space has the same width as a standard space, whose width is between the width of <code>en</code> and <code>thin</code>.

{{larger|<code><nowiki>{{spaces|</nowiki>''type''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>}} produces a single non-breaking space of the type indicated.

=== Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes ===
This template, usually as its alias {{tlx|nbsp}}, may be used with {{tlx|wbr}} and {{tlx|nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists in infoboxes, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See [[Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes]] for details.
