Template:Ko-translit/doc

Purpose

This template uses Module:Ko-translit to automatically generate romanized Korean text based on given Hangul text. The module currently implements Revised Romanization and McCune–Reischauer (the 1961 version).

The template also has an option to have the text be wrapped in {{Transliteration}} (see that template for explanation of why wrapping is preferred).

Usage

Example

Capitalize first letter:

{{ko-translit|rr|^한글}} → Hangeul

Wrap and disable italics (hover mouse over output):

{{ko-translit|rr|한글|wrap=yes|wrapital=no}} → hangeul

Name mode:

{{ko-translit|mr|%이승만}} → I Sŭngman

Parameters

|system=

Required, either rr or mr. The romanization system to use (Revised Romanization or McCune–Reischauer).

|hangul=

Required. Hangul text to romanize. The text may need to have special symbols be inserted in order to modify the output romanization. For example, to capitalize the first letter of the romanization, a ^ needs to be inserted before the Hangul. E.g. ^한글 → Hangul.

|wrap=

Optional, default no. Set to yes to wrap the output romanization in {{transliteration}}. The language tags for that template are automatically set.

|wrapital=

Optional, default yes. Only relevant if |wrap=yes. Set to no to disable italics in {{transliteration}}.
