== Documentation ==

This template provides a quick way to insert the string "c." followed immediately by a nonbreaking space. It also provides an explanation of the abbreviation that is usually seen in a "tooltip"<includeonly>, as seen above</includeonly>. The default behavior can be overridden in various ways, as seen in the examples below.

=== Usage ===

* <code><nowiki>{{c.}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{c.</nowiki>|notip=<var>char</var>}}</code>
* <code><nowiki>{{c.</nowiki>|<var>alternate text</var>|gloss=<var>expanded form</var>|notip=<var>char</var>|ws=}}</code>

The parameter {{tp|notip}} can be used to suppress the (usually tooltip-provided) expanded form of the abbreviation. Its value can be any string containing at least one non-whitespace character. Common choices are to use {{code|1=notip=y}} or {{code|1=notip=true}} (but note that something like {{code|1=notip=false}} would have the same effect).

The first positional parameter can be used to display something other than "c.", if that is desired (for example, one might use the character {{code|~}}). If this is done, you will probably also want to either suppress the expanded form by using the {{tp|notip}} parameter or provide a different expanded form by using the {{tp|gloss}} parameter.

The {{tp|ws}} parameter can be used to suppress the trailing nonbreaking space, by passing it with an empty value (either no value or only whitespace), as seen in the following examples.

=== Examples ===

* <code><nowiki>{{c.}}1950</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{c.}}1950
* <code><nowiki>{{c.|notip=y}}1950</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{c.|notip=y}}1950
* <code><nowiki>{{c.|~|gloss=around}}1950</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{c.|~|gloss=around}}1950
* <code><nowiki>{{c.|~|gloss=around|ws=}}1950</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{c.|~|gloss=around|ws=}}1950
* <code><nowiki>{{c.|~|gloss=approximately|ws=}}100</nowiki></code> ⇒ {{c.|~|gloss=approximately|ws=}}100

Hover on <span style="text-decoration:underline dotted">c.</span> and <span style="text-decoration:underline dotted">~</span> in these examples to see the effect of {{tp|gloss}}.
