{{{1}}}
Usage
[edit]Template intended to force Hausawi and other West African Arabic calligraphic fonts if installed.

- The optional
styleparameter can be used to override the generated style (for example another font size) or to specify additional CSS formattings (e.g. color). - The optional
attributesparameter can be used for specifying additional HTML attributes (for example a descriptivetitle="...").
Implementation
[edit]The template contains this phrase:
<span class="Hausawi" dir="rtl" {{#switch:{{lc:{{{2|ha}}}}}
| ha = title="{{#ifeq:{{{2|}}}|ha|Urdu |}}Hausawi" style="font-family: 'Alkalami';
}} font-size: {{{size|110%}}}; font-style: normal; {{{style|}}}">{{{1|}}}</span>
- The font size was fixed at 125% for better readability.
- There is an option to add other languages and their specific fonts if they are in the same calligraphic family but require a different font, either due to stylistic preferences or due to having unique characters not found in "Alkalami".
