Syntax

{{Nihongo foot|English|Kanji|Rōmaji|extra|extra2|post=,|group=group}} <references group="group" />

English,

This template marks the Kanji segment as being in Japanese Kanji, which helps user agents (web browsers and so on) to display it correctly. It also applies the t_nihongo_kanji CSS class. The footnote generated is called using the <references />.

Parameters

• English. Optional. The word as translated into English. Note that this will sometimes be the actual Japanese word due to it being adopted into English.
• Kanji. Required. The word in Japanese kanji and/or kana, the logographic writing system.
• Romaji. Optional. The word in Japanese Romaji, the Romanized syllabic writing system used for foreign words. Equivalent to transliteration.
• extra. Optional. Can also be expressed as a named parameter, extra=.
• extra2. Optional. Can also be expressed as a named parameter, extra2=. It is only useful in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold).
• post. Optional. Additional characters, such as commas, added after the visible English name but before the reference.
• group. Optional. Can be used to define a custom references group. The group is then called by using <references group="group" /> instead of the normal <references />.
• lead=yes. Optional. This should be used for the first instance, usually a footnote in the lead. It gives the reader an idea what kind of non-English writing they are viewing.

Examples

Regular use

See also

• {{Nihongo}}, original: generates everything that is in a footnote inside parenthesis
• {{Nihongo3}}, essentially the same as {{Nihongo}}, but gives Romaji first and English inside the parentheses
• {{Nihongo2}}, also displays the kanji properly, but without adding anything in parentheses, without Romaji and without the extra parameters
• {{Nihongo-s}}, a simplified version of {{Nihongo}} without the extra spans or checks

Like {{Nihongo}}, allows kanji/kana and rōmaji text, but puts them in footnotes
