{{COinS safe|n}}
Creates a spaced parenthesis so as to avoid text collisions, especially between italicized content and a closing non-italicized round bracket:

It has the short but not entirely intuitive short {{tlx|--)}} because both {{tlx|)}} and {{tlx|-)}} were already used by other templates.

== Usage ==

Example:
{{blockindent|1="An equivalent French slang term ({{lang|fr|être calé}}{{tlx|--)}} is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."}}
produces:
{{blockindent|1="An equivalent French slang term ({{lang|fr|être calé}}{{--)}} is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."}}
instead of:
{{blockindent|1="An equivalent French slang term ({{lang|fr|être calé}}) is primarily used in Côte d'Ivoire."}}
