Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template produces a standard box to start a sound file. It has some extra features to help linking to a phonetic sound file. Also, there are options to format possible error messages and to alter the layout of the box. Basic examples:

  • {{IPA soundbox|ə}} →
    yes
  • {{IPA soundbox||χ|Voiceless_uvular_fricative.ogg‎}} →
    yes

Usage

change

The box is created in three steps:
Step 1. Determine the soundfile name

- By using input IPA symbol, looked up in a list: ipa symbol=p →
yes
- Use input soundfile: soundfile=bilabial click.ogg→
yes

Step 2. Check if the soundfile exists This check may prevent red links and (undesired) repeated checks

Step 3. Create the standard browser soundbox on the page, using [[File:soundfile]] Here the information is put together, optional settings such as size are used, and the result is soundbox.

  • {{IPA soundbox|p|size=60px}} →
  • yes

Input options

change
a. checkexist=no: skip (expensive) check on file existence. Default=yes (do the check).
b. layout of the soundbox (these settings use basic layout parameters):
- showicon=no: show info icon ("noicon" in basic)
- size=50px size (in px: default =250px, minimum is ~40px) Basic: width.
- style: any style (CSS format) to be used, e.g. style=background:yellow;
  • {{IPA soundbox|| ipa symbol=m| size=120px| style=border:1px solid red; background:yellow;}} →
yes


c. When an error would exist, show an error message:
- default: show errormessage as error message
- errortext=something is wrong: Show alternate text when error
- errortext=: blank, no output at all (no showbox)

Example of check file once:

  • See {{infobox IPA}}. First the file is checked, and returns filename if exists. Then if there is a filename, the infobox row is composed, including the soundbox set with checkexist=no.
