Template:ISO 15924 alias/doc

This template provides the Alias, as defined by Unicode.

It also is used to determine whether a script is formally present in Unicode. (Script-id has an Alias <==> script is in Unicode).

A dozen ISO-defined scripts are merged into other scripts by Unicode. See /Unicode-merged-into-script.

Usage

Expected code input: {{{1}}}=an ISO 15924 code ("Latn" in alpha-4 OR its numeric code)

• {{ISO 15924 alias|Latn}} → Latin
• {{ISO 15924 alias|215}} → Latin

Default output, in case the input is not found in the list, is blank (no text). It can be set different:

• {{ISO 15924 alias|Latin}} → (empty string)
• {{ISO 15924 alias}} → (empty string)
• {{ISO 15924 alias|215|default=Unknown}} → Latin
• {{ISO 15924 alias|Latin|default=Unknown}} → Unknown
