Template:Tilde/doc
The {{tilde}} or {{~}} (tilde accent) diacritics template returns the UTF-16 HTML [hexadecimal] numeric character entity for a precomposed character with a tilde accent diacritic. (As a fallback, it returns a combining character for any Latin or Cyrillic character.)
With the tex option, the template returns the LaTeX code for the acute accent character.
Contents
Note: This is for XHTML5 future proofing, where named character entities should not be used, except the following four
Named entity Glyph & & < < > > " "
Numeric character entities or glyphs (except the four above glyphs, which have a special meaning in HTML) should be used instead.[1]
Usage
HTML
- {{~|alphabetic character}}
or
- {{~|alphabetic character|htm}}
where character
is either from
- {A, N, O, a, n, o}: to get a precomposed character;
- any other character from the Latin alphabet: to get a combining character (where an almost perfect accented character is created);
- or any character from the Cyrillic alphabet: to get a combining character (where an almost perfect accented character is created).
LaTeX
- {{~|any Latin or Cyrillic character|tex}}
Tests
The code
-
{{math|{{~}},{{sp|quad}}{{~}}''a'',{{sp|quad}}''a''{{~}},{{sp|quad}}''{{~|a}}''|&}}
yields
-
̃, ̃a, ã, ã
The code
-
{{math|{{~||tex}},{{sp|quad|tex}}{{~||tex}}''a'',{{sp|quad|tex}}''a''{{~||tex}},{{sp|quad|tex}}''{{~|a|tex}}''|$}}
yields
The code (because we use the \scriptstyle
kludge to get a smaller font, \tilde{a}
renders almost the same as \bar{a}
, e.g. {{math|\bar{a},\, \tilde{a}|$}}
gives)
-
{{math|\tilde{a},\quad { \textstyle \tilde{a} },\quad { \textstyle \tilde{\scriptstyle a} },\quad <!-- -->{ \textstyle \tilde{\scriptstyle B} }|$}}
yields
