Template:Pinyin/doc

This template converts Hanyu Pinyin input from the "lazy" numbers form (e.g. Han4yu3 pin1yin1) to the proper form with tones marked on the correct vowels (e.g. Hànyǔ pīnyīn) according to the rules of pinyin.

Additionally, the module converts the convenient shorthand v to ü as in most Chinese pinyin IMEs, and the incorrect nue and lue to nüe and lüe respectively. Otherwise, the module does not check whether the input pinyin is entered correctly or not.

Also supports putting the accent on esoteric pinyin like on m, ng, and ê. (e.g. ng4 gives ǹg)

Usage

As input, the pinyin for individual characters has to be in the form untoned pinyin + tone number with no spaces between them (e.g. ma1), though there is no limitation on how many words to take as input and whether there are spaces between individual characters.
