Template:Angle bracket/doc

Use this template to generate a pair of left (open) and right (close) angle brackets (also called chevrons) that will display correctly, even on operating systems and browsers that normally cannot display these characters when they are used in text. The template includes a 'nowrap' instruction, to prevent the brackets from separating from the enclosed string at the end of a line; as a consequence, a long enclosed string such as a date will not break either.

Usage
The angle brackets will surround whatever you insert as a parameter after the pipe (|) symbol. Examples:


 * displays as $\langleŋ\rangle$
 * displays as $⟨ŋ⟩$
 * displays as $\langlefoo\rangle$

You can also insert (nest) a text- or character-producing template as the parameter. Examples:


 * displays as $⟨foo⟩$
 * displays as $\langleψ|Ĥ|ψ\rangle$

Shortcuts

 *  is synonym

IPA
angbr IPA is a shorthand for formatting IPA characters and is equivalent to nesting an IPA template:
 * displays as $⟨ψ|Ĥ|ψ⟩$
 * displays as ⟨ŋ⟩

Formatting (markup)
Place any HTML or Wiki markup either outside the template or after the pipe (|) symbol as part of the parameter. Examples:


 * displays as $\langle\rangle$
 * displays as $⟨⟩$
 * displays as $\langle\rangle$

The template does not work properly with an equals sign (=) in the parameter. Start the parameter with  to circumvent this problem.

Meaning
Angle brackets (chevrons) have many uses as punctuation marks and symbols. See Angle brackets.
