Template:Hyphenation inconsistency

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

{{Hyphenation inconsistency}} is used to indicate that a word's hyphenation, and lack thereof, are used interchangeably in the source text. We use this template to note these cases of stylistic inconsistency.

Some other sites, like Project Gutenberg, have a practice of correcting these inconsistencies, but Wikisource strives to keep texts consistent with the original source.

Effect

To underline the word of interest, and to produce a pop-up to show that the text is inconsistent in hyphenating this word.

Usage

Only parameter ($1 or target) is the word in text being transcribed [mandatory].

The intention is to encapsulate the word in question
