Template:overline/documentation

Edit-copy green.svg Documentation for Template:overline. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template produces an overline over the specified text. {{overline|RESET}} gives RESET.

For a single letter, the Unicode combining accent U+0305 is a possible alternative: x̅ or x̅ produces x̅. For multiple letters, use the Unicode method when it is not desired for the overline to be continuous: {{overline|x}}{{overline|x}}{{overline|T}}{{overline|T}} gives xxTT; x̅x̅T̅T̅ gives x̅x̅T̅T̅. The wikitext may be rendered easier to read by using the Unicode method, previewing the page, and copying and pasting the overlined text into the wikitext.
