Sablon:lang/doc

This template is used to wrap non-English text. It should be used whenever non-English text appears in a page, and there is no other template (like {{l}} or {{usex}}) that can be used instead.

The template wraps text in the appropriate lang= HTML attribute, and optionally also adds a CSS class for the script. It is similar to {{l}} but does not provide a link. If a link is needed, use that template or a variety like {{m}}, as appropriate. For tagging usage examples in definitions, use {{usex}}.

Parameters

|1=

Language code. Required. For text that is not in any language (e.g. for letters standing on their own), use mul. If you don't know the language, use und

|2=

The text to be displayed. If you need to link to the term, use {{l}} or {{m}}, not this template.

|sc=

Specifies the script, if necessary. The script can be autodetected from the given text, like in other Lua-based templates such as {{l}}. So this is only needed if the detection does not give the right result. However, if you used mul or und as the language, you should probably specify this.

|face=

Specify the style to use. Can be empty (normal text), head (headword), term (term/mention, like {{term}}) or bold (non-specific bolded text).

|class=

Specifies an additional CSS class to add to the term. It is unlikely that this feature will be needed, but it is included for the sake of completeness.
