Template:IPAsym/doc

This template provides a simple conversion table from an IPA symbol to a WikiQueer article name.

The resulting article name should exist. The input symbol may be multiple characters, or may be a sequence of IPA-numbers.

Usage
This template has one parameter that is mandatory. The parameter can be an IPA symbol, or an IPA-number. Do not use template for the input character.


 *   &rarr;
 *   &rarr;
 *   &rarr;

Possible errors

 * The first parameter is required:
 * &rarr;


 * If the input argument does not exist in the IPAsym internal list, an error message is returned.
 * &rarr;

This may indicate that you have mistyped the input, or that the translation is not (yet) present in the IPAsym list. An editor can add the link.


 * Using the template will break the workings:
 * &rarr;


 * Optionally, an error text can be altered from the default red error message to any text (including a blank) by using the second parameter:
 * &rarr;
 * &rarr; (parameter 2 used)
 * &rarr; (empty string)
 * Input position 3 overrules only the errormessage "no input", the other one will show unchanged.
 * &rarr;  (using input position #3)

Editing: extending this template
If you want to add a new symbol-to-soundarticle mapping, simply add a new row in the table, using the existing rows as examples.

A symbol sequence may only appear once in the template; or else you might get unexpected results.

It is possible to map more than one symbol to the same sound. IPA-numbers for the symbol should be added in the same fashion. For clarity, please make them "fall through" to the last case, like this:

... | 424  | ɑ̃ | ɛ̃ | œ̃ | ɔ̃ = nasal vowel ...
