Help:WikiHiero syntax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"WikiHiero" is a PHP script to render Egyptian hieroglyphs as png images. Since Egyptian hierogplyphs are currently not supported by Unicode this is the only way of rendering hieroglyphics in article texts short of uploading your own custom images.
The script is invoked by the <hiero> tag. For example, <hiero>A</hiero> gets you the "Aleph" hieroglyph,
Note that use of the <hiero> tag results in a html table (of class='mw-hierotable') that will separate the surrounding text into paragraphs. A solution for the inline use of WikiHiero images is the manual addition of a surrounding <div> tag, as in the following example:
Template {{hiero}} is intended for boxes containing hieroglyphic script.
See mw:Extension:WikiHiero for the project page on MediaWiki.
Hieroglyphs
There are two ways of encoding hieroglyphs:
- using Gardiner's sign list code (e.g. A12)
- with the more frequent phonemes (e.g. xA)
Gardiner's sign list
A hieroglyph is encoded by:
- a letter that represents the category
- a number that represents rank within the category
NB until the appropriate software is enabled, the encoding will be displayed instead of the hieroglyph.
