Template:Script/Hebrew
{{{1}}}
 | This template uses TemplateStyles: |
Usage
This template marks a string as Hebrew script. It is transcluded by {{Script}}.
This template only marks a string as Hebrew script, not as Hebrew language. Therefore, it is not appropriate for Hebrew text, which should be marked instead like this: {{Lang-he|‹Hebrew language string›}}. For entire paragraphs in Hebrew, please use {{Rtl-para|he|‹Hebrew language string›}}.
Under the hood
This defines font-families, font-size and a CSS class:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{{1}}}</syntaxhighlight>
This template has two goals:
- The font-family definitions provided by Template:Script/styles_hebrew.css, which will bring an appropriate font to render Hebrew texts for better rendering, especially for texts with nikud.
- The CSS class allows Wikipedia users to specify their own style for Hebrew script text by including a custom font declaration for
.script-hebrewin their user CSS, see Help:User style.
Please mark all Hebrew script with either {{Lang-he}} if the text is in Hebrew, or with {{Script/Hebrew}} if it isn't. This will facilitate consistent formatting of Hebrew text and script.
Examples
Placing a Hebrew sign in {{Script}}:
{{Script/Hebr|א}}
The result will be a span with a class attribute, like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">א</syntaxhighlight>
Which appears in your browser as:
- א
Without {{Script}}:
- א
How to override fonts in user's preferences
Any user can use another font with a different size by writing the following on their custom CSS. (see Help:User style)
An example making the font size 137%, and choosing SBL Hebrew to be the main font with 5 additional fonts: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .script-hebrew {
font-size: 137% !important; font-family: "SBL Hebrew", David, Narkisim, "Times New Roman", FrankRuehl, Gisha, sans-serif !important;
} </syntaxhighlight>
- Font names containing spaces (or any other character than a letter) need to be put between
"or'. - The list of fonts should always be terminated by the pseudo-font names "sans-serif" and/or "serif", to allow using the fonts defined in user preferences in their browser, or the fonts set by default in browsers.
- Remember to add the phrase
!importantat the end of the font-size line and at the end of the font-family line, since they are already specified by the template and you want to override them. - You may choose to add the line-height phrase if you wanted to make lines in a paragraph more spaced from each other, or less spaced.
line-height: 125%;Remember to put it before the }. The more number percentage, the more space is added. If you wanted to decrease the line height spacing, decrease the percentage. You may use any number (e.g. 85% or 140%) or use the special valuenormalwhich will properly use the minimum setting of the line-height recommended by each candidate font.
