This template may be used to enclose text between two [[vertical bar]]s ({{unichar|007C|vertical line}}), such as to denote the [[absolute value]]. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the bars.

== Usage ==

<pre>
When {{math|{{abs|''x''}} < 7}}, the function is positive.
</pre>
When {{math|{{abs|''x''}} < 7}}, the function is positive.

<pre>
The notation {{math|{{abs}}}} means ''absolute value''.
</pre>
The notation {{math|{{abs}}}} means ''absolute value''.

== Alternatives ==

This template is equivalent to enclosing the text between two {{tlx|pipe}} templates (plus padding of width similar to [[hair space]]s around the argument)
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
When {{math|{{pipe}} ''x'' {{pipe}} < 7}}, the function is positive.
</syntaxhighlight>
When {{math|{{pipe}} ''x'' {{pipe}} < 7}}, the function is positive.

*To calculate the absolute value, use <code><nowiki>{{#expr: abs(x)}}</nowiki></code>

* {{tl|langle}} and {{tl|rangle}}
* {{tl|math}}
