Template:TeX wordmark/style.css

This template generates $T e X$ -style wordmarks for specific notable projects. Unless a name is specified, the default wordmark is $L a T e X$ . This template includes:

It is recommended that you add new wordmarks to the template, rather than simply embedding {{TeX wordmark|tex}} in the middle of your wikitext. Adding a wordmark to the template ensures that you receive the full benefit of the template's accessibility features.

Usage

The template accepts a single positional parameter: the name of the wordmark to use. Wordmarks are identified by names, as described below. Some are also referred to by a number, but you are encouraged to use specific wordmark names when possible, as this makes your intention in wikitext clearer.

Linked variant

Use {{Linked TeX wordmark}} to link to the subject's Wikipedia article. For example, {{Linked TeX wordmark|xetex}} results in $X e T e X$ .

You can override the default link with "link=". For example, {{Linked TeX wordmark|xetex|link=Somewhere else 12345}} results in $X e T e X$ .

Adding a new wordmark

Adding a new wordmark includes the following steps:

Draft your change in the sandbox.
Make sure the name is recorded to Template:TeX wordmark/name, including typical capitalization, all-lowercase, and other foreseeable variations.
Update the stylesheet with new styles. Try to re-use existing styles if possible.
Make sure the added wordmark matches a standard reference.
Sync your change to Template:TeX wordmark.
Update the documentation with the new parameter name(s) and an additional row to the "Usage" table.

Style guide

When writing out the text of the watermark, use capitalization that is consistent with how the name is usually spelled in writing. At the end of the day, this is textual content, and we should conserve the semantics of text.
- For example, even though the $L a T e X$ wordmark uses all capital letters, it is encoded in the template as "LaTeX" and not "LATEX".
- The exception is if the letter is replaced with another character entirely, as in $L a T e X 2 ε$ or $X ϒ M T e X$ .
Use the "texhtml-upper" class to force a letter to be capital or lowercase if it is not normally rendered that way in its name.
Use the "texhtml-backwards" class to render a backwards letter.
- $X e T e X$ is an example of both forced capitalization and backwards lettering.
