What is it for?
This template helps you make a table showing the vowels of your language.
In order the template uses named parameters; this means more typing, but with 38 parameters which all should be optional it is the only way to make the template manageable — and easier than coding the whole table yourself each time.
How does it work?
In order to get this:
- REDIRECT Template:Full voweltable
you enter this:
{{Voweltable| caption = Swedish dialect vowel spellings | i = i | y = y | I = î ''or'' ê | e = e | 2 = ö | 8\ = — u | u\ = (u) | 8 = û | E = ä | & = (â) | a = â | &\ = (ô) | 3\ = ô | u = o | o = å | Q = a | A = (a) | @ = (e)}}
Where each |
marks the beginning of a parameter definition of the form parameter name = parameter value
.
In order to make the template call clearer you can format it for example like this:
{{Voweltable| caption = Swedish dialect vowel spellings |= | i = i | y = y | I = î ''or'' ê | e = e |= | 2 = ö | 8\ = — u | u\ = (u) | 8 = û |= | E = ä | & = (â) | a = â | &\ = (ô) | 3\ = ô |= | u = o | o = å | Q = a | A = (a) | @ = (e)}}
Everything from a |=
up to the next |
is 'invisible' to the wiki engine[1], so you can put newlines, comments etc. there.
You may also put any amount of optional whitespace on either side of a |
or =
.
A parameter value may not contain any |
(use |
in the value instead! ☺)[2]
All parameters are optional
Parameter names key
