Template:Audio-nohelp/doc

Purpose

This template links to an audio file for quick listening. It is meant to be used inline with text, for pronunciations and the like; many times in succession and when individual help links are not necessary. (see Morse code for an example).

Since the template does not include a help link, an explanation like {{Inline audio}} needs to be provided elsewhere in the article.

Usage

{{Audio-nohelp|<name of sound file>|<text to use as link to soundfile>|no-info= }}

Example 1:

{{Audio-nohelp|X morse code.ogg|X}}

gives this:

X

Example 2:

{{Audio-nohelp|X morse code.ogg|X|no-info=yes}}

gives this:

X

Microformat

The HTML mark-up produced by this template includes an hAudio microformat that makes an audio recording's details readily parsable by computer programs. This aids tasks such as the cataloguing of articles and maintenance of databases. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please visit the Microformat WikiProject.

Subtemplates

Date-of-publication ("published") information will only be included in the microformat if {{start date}} (or, where appropriate, {{start date and age}}) is used in a parent infobox/template. Do not, however, use {{start date}} or {{start date and age}} if a date before 1583 CE is involved.

Use {{duration}} to specify the duration/length of a recording. For instance, if the recording's duration is 3 minutes 45 seconds, use {{duration|m=3|s=45}} (which appears as: 3:45). If needed, |h= may be included to specify a number of hours.

Please do not remove instances of these subtemplates.
