Template:Angle bracket/documentation

Places angle brackets around the input: $⟨input⟩$. In paleography and linguistics, angle brackets used to delimit a symbol, letter or spelling. For example, [a] transcribes the sound of the IPA letter 'a', but $⟨a⟩$ is the letter 'a' itself.

nowrap is called to prevent the brackets from separating from the enclosed string at a line break. As a consequence, a long enclosed string will not break, and this template is therefore best used with short strings.

See also angbr IPA, which formats the string with IPAfont.
