Template:Blackletter/doc

Usage
This template renders text in a blackletter ("fraktur" or "gothic") typeface using webfonts.

Alphabet:

Typeface
This template uses the UnifrakturMaguntia font, which is released under the SIL Open Font License.

By default, this template uses optional modern glyphs for certain letters rather than the standard glyphs for this font. See "Modes" for details.

Examples




Modes
Optionally certain glyphs can be altered, via different modes, to use a more modern version than is standard for this font. Mode 0 is the default; mode 1 uses the standard glyphs for the font.

Inline variant
The template Blackletter/inline (or convenience abbreviation Bl/il) takes the same parameters, but has an artificially short line height to integrate it in a paragraph's text without creating a potentially taller line for some users. This is best used in passages which have a book's normal typeface with only a little bit of blackletter.

The following example paragraph begins with this inline version, then has a simulated exaggeration of the problem it is intended to avoid. The second paragraph is a demonstration that a longer passage likely appears unobjectionable in standards-compliant browsers (see Line-height for the technical reason); however, since this doesn't respect the font's recommended spacing, avoid this unless similarity to nearby text is the required effect.

Inline parameter
Defaults to true, but can be set to false to get a div instead of a span.
