Template:Script/Runic/doc

Usage
This template marks a string as Runic script. It is transcluded by script or, alternatively, by runic. Do not include this template directly, but instead use:.

Under the hood
The template contains, which allows users to specify their own style for Runic script. Proper display of the characters is achieved by explicit font declarations, with the font Junicode automatically provided by the Universal Language Selector.

The rtl parameter changes the direction of the text to right-to-left.

Registered Wikipedia users can specify their own style for Runic script text by including a custom font declaration for  in their user CSS, see Help:User style.

Example
Placing a Runic string in script:

The result will be a span with a class attribute, like this:

ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚲ

Which appears in your browser as:




 * Another example with displayed inline.

Please mark all Runic text with. This will allow users to format all examples of Runic text consistently, with their choice of fonts, colours, etc.

RTL example
In order to display runic text with right-to-left directionality add an "rtl" parameter after the runic script:

Result is that the runic script should display reading from right to left :



Note that runic letters should be mirrored in right-to-left (RTL) layout, but glyph mirroring is done at the font level using OpenType technology (rtlm feature), and very few fonts support glyph mirroring in RTL contexts. Even if using a runic font that supports mirrored glyphs in RTL contexts, some browsers (e.g. IE and Edge) do not apply the rtlm feature so mirroring does not happen in RTL text. With fonts that support the rtlm feature, runic text is correctly displayed with mirrored glyphs in RTL layout in the latest versions of the Firefox and Chrome browsers (see here for details).

Mirror example
Runes that are subsequently inverted either horizontally or vertically can be added by a third parameter which has better chances to mirror the runes. Here, the example is given along with the rtl parameter.

Result is that the runic script should be mirrored :



turns runes upside-down. turns runes horizontally.

If a rune sequence has only certain characters mirrored, this template has to be used numerous times.
