Template:Long dash/doc


The long dash template produces a 3-em dash, which looks like this: " ——— ". It is intended for use in bibliographies where there is more than one title by the same author, to avoid repetition of the author's name.

Use

To use, replace the author's name with:

{{long dash}}

Synonyms: {{longdash}}, {{---}}

Example

This mark-up:

* Cook, Nicholas. ''A Guide to Musical Analysis''. Oxford University Press, 1987.
* {{long dash}} ''Music: A Very Short Introduction''. Oxford University Press, 1998.
* {{long dash}} and Mark Everist (eds). ''Rethinking Music''. Oxford University Press, 1999.

gives this:

  • Cook, Nicholas. A Guide to Musical Analysis. Oxford University Press, 1987.
  •  ———  Music: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press, 1998.
  •  ———  and Mark Everist (eds). Rethinking Music. Oxford University Press, 1999.

  • Cook, Nicholas. A Guide to Musical Analysis. Oxford University Press, 1987.
  • Cook, Nicholas. Music: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press, 1998.
  • Cook, Nicholas, and Mark Everist (eds). Rethinking Music. Oxford University Press, 1999.
