Template talk:Latn

face=
Unless anyone objects in the next day or so (either here or at Beer parlour), I plan to modify this template to support an optional face= parameter, by following these rules:


 * HTML element to use:
 * If face=bold or face=head, it will use &lt;b&gt;.
 * If face=ital, it will use &lt;i&gt;.
 * Otherwise, it will use &lt;span&gt; (as it currently always does).
 * HTML class to use:
 * If <tt>face=term</tt>, it will use <tt>class="mention-Latn"</tt> (as, until recently, it always did).
 * Otherwise, it will use <tt>class="Latn"</tt> (as it currently always does).

Justification:
 * This will align this template (at least conceptually) with many other script templates, such as and.
 * This will enable all <tt>sc=</tt>-supporting templates to use as their default script template, with no separate code.
 * In the absence of any <tt>face=</tt> parameter, the template will continue to behave as it does now.

 * Never mind, done now. I don't know why this always happens; people are perfectly happy to be lazy and leave an issue unresolved, until the minute I announce I'm going to make a change, and then they can't help falling all over themselves in their hurry to beat me to it. And half the time they screw it up. ;-)  —Ruakh <i >TALK</i > 12:52, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn't know you were going to fix it ... (-) one detail: it uses <tt>class="Latn mention-Latn"</tt> if <tt>face=term</tt>. Robert Ullmann 15:36, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Makes sense. :-)  —Ruakh <i >TALK</i > 16:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

lang=
Any objection to adding <tt>{ {#if:|lang=""}} </tt> to the span/b/i in this template? --Yair rand (talk) 06:47, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
