সাঁচ:IPAlink/doc

The template

{{||সাঁচ:IPAlink|IPAlink]]}}automatically wikilink an IPA symbol to the respective sound article. IPAlink displays the bare IPA
symbol. Showing IPA defined brackets like // is an input option.

{{||সাঁচ:IPAalink|IPAalink]]}},

{{||সাঁচ:IPAblink|IPAblink]]}} and

{{||সাঁচ:IPAslink|IPAslink]]}} are earlier versions with predefined angular <>, square [] or slash // brackets. The conversion table is not defined in this template, but inherited from {{IPAsym}}.

Usage

• First parameter or ipa symbol= (required): Any IPA symbol, or its IPA number.
• {{IPAlink|m}} → m
• {{IPAlink|ɡb}} → ɡb
• {{IPAlink|301}} → 301

Label

• label=, or second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.

When set to blank, label=|, no label is showsn and the IPA symbol name is shown. (Note: showsymbol= does the same, but is deprecated)

• {{IPAlink|m|label=Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPAlink|m|showsymbol=Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPAlink|m|Any text}} → Any text
• {{IPAlink|ɡb|label=}} → voiced labial-velar plosive

Brackets

• bracket=, or third parameter: set IPA bracket. Options are: / [ < (none). Default is none.
• {{IPAlink|m||<}} → <m>
• {{IPAlink|301||<}} → <301>
• {{IPAlink|m||[}} → [m]
• {{IPAlink|ɡb||[}} → [ɡb]
• {{IPAlink|ɡb||/}} → /ɡb/

Error situation

If the IPA symbol is not defined in the IPAsym table, then an error message is returned.

{{IPAlink|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 {{IPAsym}} table.

Option "showsymbol" deprecated (use label= or 2nd unnamed parameter, preferred)

The template can take the extra input like "showsymbol=A", and then show that symbol, while linking to the appropriate article. The symbol to be shown can also be the second, unnamed parameter.

{{IPAlink|m|showsymbol=Anytext}} → Anytext

{{IPAlink|ɽ͡r|showsymbol=*}} → *

Option name

• {{IPAlink|m|/|name=yes}} → / bilabial nasal
