Template:IPA link/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:IPA link. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Template:SpecialChars The templates {{IPAlink}} and {{IPAblink}} automatically wikilink as IPA symbol to the respective sound article. IPAlink displays only the IPA letters; IPAblink (IPA bracket link) displays them within [brackets].
The conversion table is not defined in this template, but inherited from {{IPAsym}}.
Usage
These templates have only one parameter. If the IPA symbol is not defined in the IPAsym table, then the argument is linked to "[[Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "this is definitely not in the table" not found in list]]", but please note that a change to this is under discussion.
- {{IPAlink|m}} → m
- {{IPAlink|ɡb}} → ɡb
- {{IPAblink|m}} → [m]
- {{IPAblink|ɡb}} → [ɡb]
- {{IPAlink|pʰɪk}} → 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 {{IPAsym}} table.
Extending this template
Please keep this template simple. In particular, please preserve the only responsibility of this template to providing a wikilink to the corresponding sound. If you wish to add new features, like enclosing the link in <big>...</big> tags, please create a new template (for example Template:IPAbiglink).
