==Purpose/Usage==
This is a short-form 'alias' for the template {{tl|space}}, which it calls, if necessary, with the default of '3', but will also accept a numeric argument and pass same onto space.

*'space' is extremely useful to align things like 'monthname year' lists inside a table, but shoves the table innards around creating wrapped edit lines and disorganizing the columnar nature of such a flat table columnized list.

:''''s'''', by defaulting to '3' ('NN') spaces thus takes up far less width and leaves the editor less confused by replacing either 'NN' '<nowiki>& nbsp ;</nowiki>' and/or '<nowiki>& emsp ;</nowiki>' HTML codes or the 'space' template width itself allowing one to finesse things like lining up the years between a column of dates or other unequal length text fields, and other such naturally misaligning tabular data.
;for example:
<div style="Background-color:#cccccc; color:black"><nowiki>{{space|5}}<u>Heading one{{space|18}}Heading two:{{space|4}}</u>{{indent|5}}November 2005 <----------->{{space|5}}November&emsp;2005{{indent|5}}May 2006{{space|5}} <----------->{{space|6}}May{{space|7}}2006</nowiki></code>...{{indent}}<font color="blue">'''(all a one line entry, or can be spaced out some)''' gives: </font> </div>
{{space|5}}<u>Heading one{{space|18}}Heading two:{{space|4}}</u>
{{indent|5}}November 2005 <----------->{{space|5}}November&emsp;2005{{indent|5}}May 2006{{space|5}} <----------->{{space|6}}May{{space|7}}2006

;Note {{W2|MSIE}} technical limitations do not show the above columns properly aligned as do more advanced browsers.

==See also==
{{indent|10}}See also {{tl|space}} && {{tl|indent}} and it's shortform {{tl|I}}. All do not give an absolutely calculable display due to the working of wiki system display software, which abhors double whitespace and whitespace clarity, but are effective work-arounds once a text line length is established... which seem to be parsed for display back to front by wiki system software.
