Template:Tt-Klingon

On this page, Klingon text in the Latin alphabet is displayed in typewriter font, and with the modifier letter apostrophe ( ʼ ) rather than the ASCII apostrophe ( ' ), which is a punctuation mark.

See Klingon language § Writing systems.

Template documentation

This template should be transcluded onto pages with significant amounts of Klingon text in the Latin alphabet after such text has been made unambiguously legible and wiki-safe:

• For readability, all Klingon text should be enclosed in the {{mono}} template.^{(See note)} The Klingon letters I as in India (which is always capitalized) and l as in lunch (always lowercase) are nearly indistinguishable in common sans-serif fonts such as Arial and Helvetica:

  Arial: I  vs. l 

  Helvetica: I  vs. l 

  Monaco: I  vs. l 

• To avoid conflict with wikicode, and for compliance with Unicode standards, all apostrophes should be modifier letter apostrophe U+02BC (HTML #700) ( ʼ ) rather than the ASCII apostrophe U+0027 ( ' ).

Note: A previous version of this template (20 May 2014‎) specified the <tt>...</tt> tag, which is obsolete.
