The templates {{IPAalink}}, {{IPAblink}} and {{IPAslink}} automatically wikilink an IPA symbol to the respective sound article and provide IPA-defined brackets. IPAalink (IPA angle bracket link) displays them within ‹angle brackets›, IPAblink (IPA bracket link) displays them within [square brackets], and IPAslink displays the symbol between /slashes/.
The conversion table is not defined in this template, but inherited from {{IPAsym}}.
For a more general IPA-linking template, with multiple options including IPA brackting, see {{IPAlink}}.
Usage
These templates have one parameter, and an optional second.
- First parameter: Any IPA symbol, or its IPA number.
showsymbol=, or use second parameter: changes the visible output into any text.
If the IPA symbol is not defined in the IPAsym table, then an error message is returned.
- {{IPAalink|m}} → ⟨m⟩
- {{IPAalink|301}} → ⟨301⟩
- {{IPAblink|m}} → [m]
- {{IPAblink|ɡb}} → [ɡb]
- {{IPAslink|ɡb}} → /ɡb/
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" (2nd, unnamed parameter)
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.
- {{IPAalink|m|showsymbol=Anytext}} → ⟨Anytext⟩
- {{IPAalink|ɽ͡r|showsymbol=*}} → ⟨ *⟩
- {{IPAblink|ˤ|showsymbol=sˤ}} → [sˤ]
- {{IPAblink|ˤ|sˤ}} → [sˤ]
- {{IPAblink|301|i}} → [i]
