Template:Pad
From AHPA Botanical Identity References Compendium
Usage
Use Pad to insert a horizontally padding HTML SPAN inline. The template takes one unnamed parameter; a width value specified in px, em or ex (other CSS units – in, cm, pc, pt – are supported as well, but not recommended, typically at 96dpi conversion ratio). The default is 1 em.
The result is the specified padding followed by an (non-breaking space – at 100% font size (8pt), typically 3px wide in narrow fonts like Arial and Tahoma, 4px in wider fonts like Arial Black and Verdana).
