Template:Aramaic/doc

This is a simple template that helps format text in the Imperial Aramaic alphabet. It defines the direction as right-to-left and HTML lang property to "arc", or to a user-specified language with the parameter.

For Aramaic text in Syriac script, use Syriac with. For Hebrew script, use Hebrew with.

This template is not intended for formatting whole paragraphs, but only Aramaic passages in a paragraph that may be left-to-right. (In HTML terms, it's a , not a   .)

Usage
It takes one required argument which can be left unnamed or explicitly named "text". Example:


 * or

yields:



This is the English Wikisource, so Aramaic  s are expected to be embedded in left-to-right paragraphs; therefore by default this template ends with the left-to-right marker. If you want to disable it, add the argument "lrm=no".
