Template:Zh/doc

About
There used to be a large number of separate Chinese/romanization support templates to use, depending on what you wanted to display; for example, zh-stp could display simplified and traditional characters and Hanyu Pinyin, zh-cpwl could display general Han characters, pinyin and Wade-Giles, and literal translations, etc. This template was created to combine all those into one template with all the functionality. It can display (and link to) general, simplified, or traditional Han characters; literal translation; Zhuyin (Bopomofo); and the Hanyu Pinyin, Tongyong Pinyin, Wade-Giles, Jyutping, Cantonese Yale, and Pe̍h-ōe-jī romanizations.

Usage
To use the template, start with and add any parameters you like, along with what you want to be displayed. The template will display all, and only, the parameters that you give it. The following parameters are supported:
 * Parameters

The template can be given more than one value (for example, on the article China, it has s, t, hp, tp, and w. By default, when multiple parameters are given they will be shown in the same order as the above table: first Chinese characters (simplified, then traditional), then romanizations (starting with Hanyu and Tongyong Pinyin).
 * Ordering

For some articles, however, it is more appropriate to display traditional characters before simplified, and Tongyong before Hanyu&mdash;this is the case with articles relating to Taiwan, for instance. To do this, add t anywhere in the template, and the traditional and Tongyong will be shown first. For example:



In the future I may also update the template to allow j, putting Jyutping before pinyin (for use in Cantonese-related articles). This functionality has not been written, yet, and I would not implement it without first having a project-wide discussion to see if it's appropriate to choose Jyutping (or any other romanization) as the "default" for Cantonese.

Adding no anywhere in the template will suppress links. This is for preventing overlinking in an article or section where the template is used repeatedly.
