Template:c

Usage

This template serves to display North Italic letters. For each character of a text in North Italic script, the template must be included separately. For example, in order to render the character (that is, a dextroverse A₂):

{{c|A|A2|d}}

has to be written. The individual fields have the following functions:

c	name of the template
A	citation form of the letter in upper case = page of the character activated by the link
A2	actual variant of the letter to be displayed
d	dextroverse direction of the character

Specifying the actual variant of the letter can be omitted if it is identical to the citation form;
specifying the direction of writing can be omitted if it is sinistroverse;
e.g. (sinistroverse citation form = main variant of A):

{{c|A}}

If no property value is to be defined (for example, outside of inscriptions), the field for the citation form is to be left blank; only the actual variant to be displayed is to be specified. In the following examples, these are and ):

{{c||A}}
{{c||A2|d}}

Result

• The attested variant of the letter will be displayed as an image with a link to the citation form of the character.
• If the citation form is specified, the following properties will be defined:
  • Property:character for the citation form,
  • Property:character_variant for the actual variant of the character (including direction of writing)

Example

In order to display the sequence ualaunal in sinistroverse Lepontic script, with the variant A₂ (i.e. ), the following has to be coded:

{{c|L}}{{c|A|A2}}{{c|N}}{{c|U}}{{c|A|A2}}{{c|L}}{{c|A|A2}}{{c|U}}

For the same word, but in dextroverse direction and without defining properties (i.e. ):

{{c||U|d}}{{c||A2|d}}{{c||L|d}}{{c||A2|d}}{{c||U|d}}{{c||N|d}}{{c||A2|d}}{{c||L|d}}
