DOUG: Creating a help document for a simple template, as a test.

Creating a help document for a simple template, as a test.

New page

< [[Template:*]]

==Usage==
===Math===
This template may be used as a cdot equivalent in a mathematical formula; it looks like this: [ • ]

Common usage is to depict multiplication of two variables. For example both are valid mathematical formulas, but readability in some formulas may require use of the multiplication symbol.

{{equation box|{{math|AB {{=}} C}} }}

and

{{equation box|{{math|A{{*}} B {{=}} C}} }}

In order to generate the cdot or multiplication symbol, enclose an asterisk in braces like this <nowiki>{{*}}</nowiki>.

===Bulleted Lists===
This template may be used as the equivalent of a bullet in a bulleted list, as well. Use of the template in this fashion should be restricted to cases where it is absolutely necessary for readability. The internal wiki function for bulleted lists should be the primary choice for generating bulleted lists as it is faster and easier to read / maintain than it is using this template.

===Redirects===
At present, no redirects are created for this template.
