Template:Lit/doc

This template uses single quotation marks (Template:Char), because Wikipedia's Manual of Style at calls for simple glosses to be enclosed this way.

Usage

• {{literal translation}} → let.
• {{literal translation|lk=yes}} → let.
• {{literal translation|lk=no}} → let.
• {{literal translation|a}} → let. 'a'
• {{literal translation|''a'' A}} → let. 'a A'
• {{literal translation|a|b}} → let. 'a'Template:Sp or 'b'
• {{literal translation|a|b|c|d}} → let. 'a'Template:Sp or 'b'Template:Sp or 'c'Template:Sp or 'd'

For now, the template takes up to four separate translations (|a|b|c|d). If each meaning is a single word, using serial commas is another stylistic choice: |a, b, c, d.

Unlinking (|lk=no) avoids cluttering the same paragraph or list with repetitive overlinking of "Template:Lit.".

Formats the literal translation of a word or phrase per Manual of Style guidelines.
