Template:Respell/doc

This template formats pronunciation respellings of English words. It puts the input in italics, hyphenates each value so it will represent a syllable, and links to Help:Pronunciation respelling key. Stressed syllables are input in uppercase and will appear slightly smaller than usual uppercase letters.

Notation must be spelled accordingly to the respelling key at Help:Pronunciation respelling key. For example, the word pronunciation (IPA: /prəˌnʌnsiˈeɪʃən/) is respelled prə-NUN-see-AY-shən; using this template, the formatting is:

• {{respell|prə|NUN|see|AY|shən}} → prə-NUN-see-AY-shən

How to use

On Wikipedia, respelling is most commonly used to help clarify the pronunciation of a name or topic in the lead section or introductory paragraph of an article. Per the Manual of Style, respelling may only follow and augment a corresponding International Phonetic Alphabet template (e.g., {{IPAc-en}}) and may never be used in place of one. The template provides a link to a key so that readers may easily discover how to pronounce an easily mispronounced or difficult-to-pronounce word. For example:

• Worcestershire (/ˈwʊstərʃər/ WUUS-tər-shər) is a county located in central England.

  '''Worcestershire''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|ʊ|s|t|ər|ʃ|ər}} {{respell|WUUS|tər|shər}}) is a county located in central [[England]].

Common practice is to put no punctuation except one space between the IPA and the respelling for clarity, as in:

• Massachusetts (/ˌmæsəˈtʃuːsɪts/ MASS-ə-CHOO-sits, /-zɪts/ -⁠zits) is the most populous state in New England.

  '''Massachusetts''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|m|æ|s|ə|ˈ|tʃ|uː|s|ɪ|t|s}} {{respell|MASS|ə|CHOO|sits}}, {{IPAc-en|-|z|ɪ|t|s}} {{respell|-zits}}) is the most populous state in [[New England]].

Any argument containing an underscore or beginning or ending with a hyphen will not generate adjoining hyphens and will instead turn the underscore into a space, allowing for denoting word boundaries, alternate pronunciations, and affix ellipses. For example:

• Avram Noam Chomsky: {{respell|av|RAHM|_|NOHM|_|CHOM|skee}} → av-RAHM NOHM CHOM-skee
• Copenhagen: {{respell|KOH|pən|HAY|gən|,_-|HAH|-}} → KOH-pən-HAY-gən, -⁠HAH-

An argument beginning in (- or ending in -) will also suppress the extra hyphen, so that optional syllables can be indicated.

• coupe: {{respell|KOOP|(-ay)}} → KOOP(-ay)
