{{{1}}}
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
Use {{italics correction}} to increase the spacing (by 0.15em) following italic text to keep it from running into an immediately subsequent non-italic character, such as a closing parenthesis. The template takes one unnamed parameter: the text. The template can be included within or its parameter may include the italics markup, which is not provided by this template itself.
Using the wiki markup (''Harbi'') without the template would produce (Harbi) with the italicized 'i' intruding into the ')'. ({{italics correction|''Harbi''}}) produces (Harbi) instead.
No description.

The kerning problem with italics has, as of April 2021, no automated solutions in the web browser, so the use of this template remains necessary. The underlying font standards generally don't have support for this feature, so this issue should not be expected to be fixed anytime soon. (OpenType only has italics correction in the TeX-inspired MATH table – see also this discussion on typedrawers.)
