साचा:IPAlink/doc

साचा:SpecialChars The template {{IPA link}} creates a wikilink from an IPA symbol to the respective phonetic article. IPA link displays the bare IPA symbol. Showing IPA defined brackets like "/…/" is an input option.

The conversion list, from symbol to article name, is not defined in this template, but inherited from {{IPA symbol}}.

{{IPAalink}}, {{IPAblink}}, {{IPAdblink}} and {{IPAslink}} are versions with defined angular "साचा:Angle bracket", square "[…]", double square "⟦...⟧" or slash "/…/" brackets, respectively.

Usage

• First parameter or ipa symbol= (required): any IPA symbol or its IPA number, respectively.
• {{IPA link|m}} → m
• {{IPA link|ɡb}} → ɡb
• {{IPA link|301}} → 301

Brackets

• bracket=, or second or third parameter: set IPA bracket. Options are: /, [, and <. Default is none. The angle bracket input can be input as < from a regular keyboard; the output displayed is the opening साचा:Unichar and the closing साचा:Unichar.
• {{IPA link|m|<}} → ⟨m⟩
• {{IPA link|m||<}} → ⟨m⟩
• {{IPA link|301||<}} → ⟨301⟩
• {{IPA link|m||[}} → [m]
• {{IPA link|ɡb||[}} → [ɡb]
• {{IPA link|ɡb||/}} → /ɡb/

Label

• label=, or second or third parameter: adds a label to the wikilink.
• {{IPA link|m|label=Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPA link|m|Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPA link|m||Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPA link|ɡb|label=}} → ɡb

(Note: showsymbol= does the same, but it is deprecated.)

Combined:

• {{IPA link|ɡb|bracket=<|label=Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPA link|ɡb|Any text|/}} → /Any text/
• {{IPA link|ɡb|<|Any text}} → ⟨Any text⟩

Direct page:

The target page can be set (overridden) by using direct page:

{{IPA link|ʘ|<}} → ⟨ʘ⟩

{{IPA link|ʘ|direct page=Bilabial clicks|<}} → ⟨ʘ⟩

Error situation

If the IPA symbol is not defined in the {IPA symbol} table, then an error message is returned.

{{IPA link|pʰɪk}} →

The latter is normally more an example of accidental misuse than intentional use, or it could be a sign that a symbol is missing from the {{IPA symbol}} table.

Option "showsymbol" deprecated (use label= or a second unnamed parameter, preferably)

The template can take the extra input like showsymbol=A, and then display that symbol, while also linking to the appropriate article. The symbol to be shown can also be the second unnamed parameter.

{{IPA link|m|showsymbol=Anytext}} → Anytext

{{IPA link|ɽ͡r|showsymbol=*}} → *

Option name

The name=yes parameter provides a display of the name of the phoneme (a function of {{IPA symbol}}) to the right of the displayed symbol for the phoneme, as shown in the example below:

• {{IPA link|m|/|name=yes}} → /m/ bilabial nasal

Full parameter list

In the short form:

{{IPA link
|
|
|
| name      =
| errortext =
| showsymbol=
}}

Equally, the longer including optional names:

{{IPA link
| ipa symbol= <!-- or 1st unnamed parameter-->
| label     = <!-- or 2nd unnamed paramter -->
| bracket   = <!-- or 3rd unnamed parameter -->
| name      = <!-- yes/no -->
| errortext =
| showsymbol= <!-- deprecated, use label= -->
}}

Known issue

• The output should be enveloped in {{nowrap}}.
