Template:Pronounce/doc

This template is used to have a standardized way of indicating pronunciation of terms across the wiki.

Parameters

 * Up to 9 syllables can be spelled out phonetically and separated by pipe symbols . The template will automatically create an IPA pronunciation guide, followed by a phonetic spelling. If it is unable to properly determine the IPA, (because improper/ambiguous phonetic spellings were used,) the article will be flagged as an article with broken pronunciation.
 * Syllables should be spelled out using the options given in the "Pronunciation Table" shown to the right. The phonetic spellings given in most sourcebooks should already be found in the table, but there may be a few exceptions that you will have to adapt using your best judgment.
 * If a syllable receives stress, it should be typed in all-caps.
 * To use this template for multiple words, use  as its own syllable for the space between the words.
 * For the two special characters ash and schwa, the template can only handle the UNICODE characters, not the HTML codes. (For example, use  , not  .)
 * For the two special characters ash and schwa, the template can only handle the UNICODE characters, not the HTML codes. (For example, use  , not  .)


 * refs          : Optional. The source(s) for the pronunciation. Use the usual   tags.
 * audio         : Optional. The filename of an   audio file of the pronunciation.
 * alt           : Optional. If this is an alternate pronunciation, set this to   or  . By default, a pronunciation will be prefixed with "pronunciation:"; if   is set, the pronunciation will instead be prefixed with "or:".
 * primary stress : Optional. If more than one syllable of a longer word receives stress, provide which syllable (by number) receives the strongest stress.

Note: This template usually should be surrounded by parentheses.
