Template:Language with name/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

Transcluded by "lang-xx" templates (e.g. {{lang-rus}})—do not use directly.

Right-to-left

[edit]

For languages written right-to-left, like Arabic, Hebrew and other, it is advised to set |rtl={{rtl}} in the language template (e.g. lang-ar, lang-he).

This adds the character U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (‏) to the end of the string (the righthand side, in memory). It is an invisible formatting character, that terminates the R-to-L text. After this, (that is, directly after & outside of the template), all following text is initiated to be left-to-right (English) again.

Italics

[edit]

Set italic to

  • no for non-italic text
  • yes (default) for italic text

Category suppression

[edit]

If you want to suppress category output from the template, use |nocat=true.
