Usage
[edit]This template is intended for use with text written in the Unicode "Mongolian" script. Note, the Unicode "Mongolian" script is a unification of the Mongolian, Todo, Manchu and Sibe scripts, so this template can be used for text written in various different languages, including varieties of Mongolian (Classical Mongolian, Halh [khk] and Peripheral Mongolian [mvf]), as well as Manchu [mnc] and Sibe [sjo].
- 1st parameter is the Mongolian (Todo, Manchu, Sibe) text to display
- 2nd parameter is optional; if it is 'h' then the text is laid out horizontally; if it is any other value (e.g. 'v'), or if it is omitted then the text is laid out vertically (if the browser supports vertical layout)
lang
parameter: defines the language of the text, e.g.mn
for Mongolian,mnc
for Manchu, andsjo
for Sibe; also used for switching font families by languagestyle
parameter: defines extended style of the text area, e.g.height:50px
limits the height as 50px, if the length of text is over than 50px, the rest of contents will align at the next column(s).- In addition, you can override the defaults for
font-size
,line-height
, anddisplay
using likewise named parameters.
If you have a long run of vertical Mongolian text (i.e. more than one or two words) embedded in a horizontal English paragraph, it will create a very large gap between lines, so it is best to break long vertical runs of Mongolian text into short word-lengthed chunks. This can be done by wrapping each Mongolian word in a separate MongolUnicode template, and separating each MongolUnicode template by a space character (if you omit the space character the Mongolian text will format correctly, but if a user copies the Mongolian text from the article the individual words will be concatenated into a single word). Do not use <br/> to break vertical Mongolian runs for unnecessary purpose as this causes problems with browsers which do not support vertical layout.
