Template:Absolute value

This template may be used to enclose text between two vertical bars (U+007C | VERTICAL LINE), such as to denote the absolute value. It adds padding (of width 0.1 em) on each side inside the bars.

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

When |x| <7, the function is positive.

The notation {{math|{{abs}}}} means ''absolute value''.

The notation | · | means absolute value.

This template is equivalent to enclosing the text between two {{pipe}} templates (plus padding of width similar to hair spaces around the argument)

When {{math|{{pipe}}&#x200A;<!-- hair space -->''x''&#x200A;{{pipe}} <7}}, the function is positive.

When | x | <7, the function is positive.

• To calculate the absolute value, use {{#expr: abs(x)}}
• {{bra-ket}}
• {{langle}} and {{rangle}}
• {{math}}
• {{norm}}
• {{pars}}
• {{pipe}}
