*1st parameter is the Mongolian (Todo, Manchu, Sibe) text to display
*2nd parameter is optional; if it is 'h' then the text is laid out horizontally; if it is any other value (e.g. 'v'), or if it is omitted then the text is laid out vertically (if the browser supports vertical layout)
*<ttcode>lang</ttcode> parameter: defines the language of the text, e.g. <ttcode>mn</ttcode> for Mongolian, <ttcode>mnc</ttcode> for Manchu, and <ttcode>sjo</ttcode> for Sibe; also used for switching font families by language
*<ttcode>style</ttcode> parameter: defines extended style of the text area, e.g. <ttcode>height:50px</ttcode> limits the height as 50px, if the length of text is over than 50px, the rest of contents will align at the next column(s).
*In addition, you can override the defaults for <ttcode>font-size</ttcode>, <ttcode>line-height</ttcode>, and <ttcode>display</ttcode> using likewise named parameters.
If you have a long run of vertical Mongolian text (i.e. more than one or two words) embedded in a horizontal English paragraph, it will create a very large gap between lines, so it is best to break long vertical runs of Mongolian text into short word-lengthed chunks. This can be done by wrapping each Mongolian word in a separate MongolUnicode template, and separating each MongolUnicode template by a space character (if you omit the space character the Mongolian text will format correctly, but if a user copies the Mongolian text from the article the individual words will be concatenated into a single word). Do not use <nowiki><br/></nowiki> to break vertical Mongolian runs for unnecessary purpose as this causes problems with browsers which do not support vertical layout.
