Template:Infobox IPA/doc

Usage
This template can be used to add an infobox for a phonetic sound.

This infobox can be used to describe a phonetic sound, both by its name and its IPA symbol. Additional information can be added, like the X-SAMPA letters and a graphic image file.

In general, the descriptive name corresponds with the article name. The infobox is then placed on that article page.

Basic parameters
Only a few parameters are required to produce a useful infobox. The above header can be set, and up to four IPA symbols can be shown:

For common IPA symbols, the IPA number defines the article name and the default soundfile name. Decimals are decimal character references, also known as "Entity", to define the symbol in HTML. The template tries to find all known information with these two numbers.

Some more basic parameters:

Full parameter list
Up to four decimal values can be entered, to compose the symbol:
 * Decimal numbers


 * ipa symbol = ʎ̥˔
 * ipa number = 157 402A 429
 * decimal1  = 654
 * decimal2  = 805
 * decimal3  = 724
 * decimal4  =

Multiple symbols
Up to eight symbols can be shown in big font.

...
 * above = Downstep and upstep
 * ipa symbol = ꜛ◌
 * ipa symbol2 = ꜜ◌
 * ipa symbol3 =
 * ipa symbol8 =

Image
Adding an image of the symbol:

More input options

 * ipa symbol  = a
 * note1 label = Extra note 1
 * note1       = This is my first note


 * unicode     = U+9999
 * x-sampa     = X-S
 * kirshenbaum = K
 * note2 label = Extra note 2
 * note2       = Another note by me here

Soundfile
The template tries to determine the default soundfile name by using the sound name (as determined by the IPA number, or IPA symbol):
 * &rarr;
 * If this fails, the file name can be entered.

When the file exists, the soundbutton is shown. Otherwise, no soundbutton is shown at all.


 * ipa symbol = abc
 * note2     = Example non default soundfile
 * soundfile = Accordion registers.ogg

Deprecated parameters
The next parameters are deprecated. They can still be used, and may be present in articles.

Old parameters are treated as input for new ones, e.g. input  is read as input for. old parameter goes into new parameter: ipa-number   => ipa number ipa-text     => ipa symbol ipa-image    => imagefile decimal      => decimal1 xsampa       => x-sampa sound        => soundfile

Priorities in parameters
The template tries to get as much information as possible from the input. Overwriting:
 * above       = (overwrites ipa symbol name (IPA symbol) in header)
 * ipa symbol  = (overwrites big symbol that was created by the decimal numbers)
 * unicode     = (overwrites Unicode numbers that were determinated by the decimal numbers)
 * soundfile   = (overwrites any default soundfile name that was derived by the IPA symbol name or number)
