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}} and {{IPAslink}} are versions with defined angular "⟨…⟩", square "[…]" or slash "/…/" brackets, respectively.
Usage[edit]
- 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}}→ Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "301" not found in list
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 U+27E8 ⟨ MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET (HTML⟨⧼dot-separator⧽Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".) and the closing U+27E9 ⟩ MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET (HTML⟩⧼dot-separator⧽Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".).{{IPA link|m|<}}→ <{{IPA link|m||<}}→ m{{IPA link|301||<}}→ Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "301" not found in list{{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}}→ m{{IPA link|m|Any text}}→ Any text{{IPA link|m||Any text}}→ m{{IPA link|ɡb|label=}}→ ɡb
(Note: showsymbol= does the same, but it is deprecated.)
Combined:
{{IPA link|ɡb|bracket=<|label=Any text}}→ ɡb{{IPA link|ɡb|Any text|/}}→ Any text{{IPA link|ɡb|<|Any text}}→ <
Direct page:
The target page can be set (overridden) by using direct page=:
Audio link:
audio=yes adds a link to the corresponding audio file:
If the value in audio= is a media file that exists, it will then link to that file instead:
If the audio file is not specified at Module:IPA symbol/data, the link will not appear:
{{IPA link|s̬|[|audio=yes}}→ [
Error situation
If the IPA symbol is not defined in the {IPA symbol} table, then an error message is returned.
{{IPA link|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 {{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.
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:
Full parameter list[edit]
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[edit]
- The output should be enveloped in {{nowrap}}.
