Template:Respelled/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Respelled.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template can be used to show how to pronounce (say) certain words in the name of the article using a simple respelling method at "Help:Pronunciation respelling key". The template provides a link to that article so that readers can easily look up how to pronounce the word.

The template has a parameter called "p" (which stands for "pronounced") that is optional – you can choose if you want to use it or not. If "p=on", the word "pronounced" is displayed. If "p=off" or you leave out the parameter, the template does not display the word "pronounced".

Examples

Here are examples of how to use the template:

What you type	What you will see
{{respelled\|p=on\|<small>STRAZ</small>-bur}}	pronounced STRAZ-bur
{{respelled\|p=off\|<small>STRAZ</small>-bur}} or {{respelled\|<small>STRAZ</small>-bur}}	STRAZ-bur

This example shows only the respelled pronunciation of the word "Strasbourg":

Strasbourg (pronounced STRAZ-bur), is a city in the east of France.

This example shows how the word should be pronounced with both the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) (using the {{Pronounced}} template) and respelled pronunciation:

Strasbourg (pronounced [ˈstʀazbuʀ], STRAZ-bur), is a city in the east of France.
