Template:Comma/doc

This documentation subpage contains instructions, categories, or other information that is not part of the template. To view the Template page itself, see Template:Comma.

Usage

Use it to generate the language-dependant punctuation signs that is used like an English comma, for example between items in a list, or clauses in a sentence.

• By default, it is rendered according to the content language of the current page (see {{CURRENTCONTENTLANGUAGE}}) so it will work in translated subpages.
• If you want to use it in a multilingual page, you'll need to specify the language-code in parameter 1 (or uselang).

Examples

• In English, German{{comma|en}}Spanish{{stop|en}} gives

  German, Spanish.

• In Arabic, الألمانية{{comma|ar}}الإسبانية{{stop|ar}} gives

  الألمانية، الإسبانية.

• In Armenian, գերմաներեն{{comma|hy}}իսպաներեն{{stop|hy}} gives

  գերմաներեն՝ իսպաներեն։

• In Chinese, 德语{{comma|zh}}西班牙语{{stop|zh}} gives

  德语、 西班牙语 。

Warning

• Don't insert any space after it (this template will insert the word separator conditionally, but the comma returned in Chinese is a wide version and requires no extra space after it). Some languages also don't want any space in the same paragraph (they don't separate words by spaces).
• Commas not followed by a space are used as decimal separators or group separators for the international formatting of numbers (for example with {{formatnum:...|language-code}}): do not use this Comma template for such usage.
