===Performance impact===
Template:Gaps allows up to 20 parameters, and displays the gaps by setting the left-margin space of each group. The gaps are not actual spaces, so a copy/paste of the text is treated as connected, consecutive text. Template:Gaps is coded with minimal wikitext [[markup]], so equivalent hand-coded markup could not be much shorter. Counting the length of the span-tags, there can be 15,800 instances of 2-part {gaps}, or 9,500 uses of 3-part gaps, or 6,800 with 4-part gaps (etc.), per page. The template uses a minimal [[m:HELP:Expansion depth|expansion depth]] of only 2 levels (of the if-else nesting limit, such as 40 maximum), and if those 2 levels are exceeded, only the first portion will be shown. Although the text, as displayed, is consecutive as on-screen text, {gaps} for a number cannot be used in a calculation because the internal markup contains the invisible &lt;span> tags which would be invalid text in typical numeric processing.
