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 and Template:Tt-Klingon.

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 tag, which is obsolete.
