Purpose
The purpose of this module is to correctly italicize scientific names at the rank of genus or below. Botanical (ICNafp) names may contain "connecting terms"; these must not be italicized. The hybrid symbol, ×, should also not be italicized.
The module does not deal with virus names, which have quite different structures and italicization rules.
Usage
{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME}}
Examples
Connecting terms:
- Pinus subg. Pinus → Pinus subg. Pinus
- P. subgenus Pinus → P. subg. Pinus
- P. subsect. Pinaster → P. subsect. Pinaster
- Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala → Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala
- Aster ericoides var. ericoides → Aster ericoides var. ericoides
- A. ericoides varietas ericoides → A. ericoides var. ericoides
- A. e. subvar. ericoides → A. e. subvar. ericoides
Botanical names may contain only one infraspecific epithet; a string like "Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca f. semperflorens" is a classification, not a name, and is not handled by the module.
Hybrid symbols:
- Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → Elaeagnus × submacrophylla
- ×Beallara → ×Beallara
- × Beallara → ×Beallara
- {{hybrid}}Beallara → ×Beallara
For even more examples, see the testcases.
