قالب:Literal translation/doc

Currently this template uses single quotation marks (قالب:Char), because the present Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS:SINGLE) suggests that simple glosses be enclosed this way.

 Usage

• {{literal translation}} → حرفياً
• {{literal translation|lk=yes}} → حرفياً
• {{literal translation|lk=no}} → حرفياً
• {{literal translation|a}} → حرفياً 'a'
• {{literal translation|''a'' A}} → حرفياً 'a A'
• {{literal translation|a|b}} → حرفياً 'a' or 'b'
• {{literal translation|a|b|c|d}} → حرفياً 'a' or 'b' or 'c' 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 "حرفياً".

 Spacing demonstration

• a{{literal translation}}bcd → aحرفياًbcd
• a{{literal translation|i=yes}}bcd → aحرفياًbcd
• a{{literal translation|b}}cd → aحرفياً 'b'cd
• a{{literal translation|b|i=yes}}cd → aحرفياً 'b'cd
• a{{literal translation|b|c}}d → aحرفياً 'b' or 'c'd
• a{{literal translation|b|c|i=yes}}d → aحرفياً 'b' or 'c'd
