|{{#ifexpr:{{{1|5}}}>50| '''Template:in5''' - count must be 1-50 spaces, found: {{{1|5}}}. |}}}}}}</includeonly><noinclude>The indenter '''Template:in5''' indents text by 5 spaces or
the count specified by parameter 1 (range: 1 to 50 spaces).
 
:: Usage:   {{in5}} {{in5}} <--indents by 5 spaces 
:: Usage:   {{in5|8}}     <--indents by 8 spaces 
:: Usage:   {{in5|47}}   <--indents by 47

Spaces outside the double braces will add an extra space on either
side, such as the 12 spaces inserted by: " {{in5|10}} ".

NOTE: The name "in5" was chosen because other names were debated, such as the name "in" being redefined as 6 different uses.

==Examples==
The following are examples showing larger amounts of spacing:
:: Example 1: <nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}</nowiki>zz, produces: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|10}}zz
:: Example 2: <nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}</nowiki>zz, produces: xx{{in5|10}}yy{{in5|15}}zz
:: Example 3: <nowiki>aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}</nowiki>cc, produces: aa{{in5|20}}bb{{in5|20}}cc
:: Example 4: <nowiki>"32.0{{in5|7}}"</nowiki>  produces: "32.0{{in5|7}}"
The example 4 shows the ability to put trailing spaces, such as spaces after a number in a wikitable column (coded as: | 32.0{{in5}} ). Typical numbers (with "align=right"), in a table column, often appear crowded at the right-hand side, so appending "{{in5}}" can improve readability, in tables with lines between columns.

==Universal template==
This Template:in5 is intended as a universal template, with the same name on all Wikipedia sites. The name "in5" with the digit "5" is unlikely to conflict with other-language Wikipedias. Care must be taken not to name a universal template with a name that would be an awkward or peculiar word in the other languages. However, in some cases, a universal template might need a different name in a few conflicting languages.

==Comparison with Template:spaces==
There are other templates that insert spaces, although none had allowed 50 spaces. For example, the [[Template:spaces]] has had a limit of about 15 spaces:
{| class=wikitable style="margin-left:40px"
| valign=top | Example of <nowiki>{{spaces|10}}</nowiki> and... with <nowiki>{{spaces|15}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{spaces|20}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{spaces|25}}</nowiki> || <nowiki>xx{{spaces|10}}</nowiki>yy, produces: xx{{spaces|10}}yy xx{{spaces|15}}yy xx{{spaces|20}}yy xx{{spaces|25}}yy
|-
| valign=top | Example of <nowiki>{{in5|10}}</nowiki> and... with <nowiki>{{in5|15}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{in5|20}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{in5|25}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{in5|45}}</nowiki> || <nowiki>xx{{in5|10}}</nowiki>yy, produces: xx{{in5|10}}yy xx{{in5|15}}yy xx{{in5|20}}yy xx{{in5|25}}yy xx{{in5|45}}yy
|}
Again, using {{in5}} reliably allows up to 50 spaces at a time.
