Editing Template:IPAc-ar/doc

{{Documentation subpage}}
<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

This template is used to produce a phonemic representation (using the [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] system) of Arabic words or sounds, using natural spelling to avoid the need to search for the correct phonetic symbols. The result is wikilinked to [[Help:IPA/Arabic]]. Optionally, an audio file can also be specified.

==Usage==
The number of parameters is always limited to 50.

Normal usage:
* {{tlx|IPAc-ar|sh|u|k|r|a|n|_show_result=yes}}
* {{tlx|IPAc-ar|S|a|d|ii|q|ii|_show_result=yes}}

To change the delimiters (for example, if several instances of the template need to be strung together because of the limit on the number of parameters):
* {{tlx|IPAc-ar|[-|2|a|l|l|u|gh|a|t_|_show_result=yes}}
The full range of special values for the first parameter (changing the delimiters and/or specifying that the next parameter is an audio file) is as follows:
*<code>-- [- -] // /- -/ AUD -]AUD //AUD -/AUD</code>
