Changes

However, if the template is called with the code string {{tlc|Linguist|latin{{=}}yes}}, and no space at all is included in the template code, the words "''Greek''" and "''and''" will be merged into "''Greekand''".

{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: white;"

|-

| rowspan="2" | {{code|He speaks Greek<nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|and Latin}}</nowiki>.}} || {{no}} || {{samp|He speaks Greek.}}

Including a space inside the function will give the same output as in example 1, since (as mentioned above) all leading and trailing spaces are trimmed.

{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: white;"

|-

| rowspan="2" | <code>He speaks Greek<nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|</nowiki><span style="background-color: #0095dd;"> </span><nowiki>and Latin}}</nowiki>.</code> || {{no}} || {{samp|He speaks Greek.}}

;<big>3. Space outside function</big>

{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: white;"

|-

| rowspan="2" | <code>He speaks Greek<span style="background-color: #0095dd;"> </span><nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|and Latin}}</nowiki>.</code> || {{no}} || <samp>He speaks Greek<span style="background-color: #0095dd;"> </span>.</samp>

Using this template to add a space before the optional string (i.e. {{samp|<nowiki>{{sp}}</nowiki>and Latin}}), you will get the correct output both when leaving out {{para|latin}}, and when it's invoked.

{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: white;"

|-

| rowspan="2" | <code>He speaks Greek<nowiki>{{#if:{{{latin|}}}|</nowiki><span style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #0095dd;"><nowiki>{{sp}}</nowiki></span><nowiki>and Latin}}</nowiki>.</code> || {{no}} || {{samp|He speaks Greek.}}
