This template produces a standard box to start a sound file. It has some extra features to help linking to a phonetic sound file. Also, there are options to format possible error messages and to alter the layout of the box. Basic examples:

The box is created in three steps:
Step 1. Determine the soundfile name

- By using input IPA symbol, looked up in a list:
ipa symbol=p
p
- Use input soundfile:
soundfile=bilabial click.ogg
ʘ

Step 2. Check if the soundfile exists This check may prevent red links and (undesired) repeated checks

Step 3. Create the standard browser soundbox on the page, using [[File:soundfile]] Here the information is put together, optional settings such as size are used, and the result is soundbox.

a.
checkexist=no
: skip (expensive) check on file existance. Default=yes (do the check).
b. layout of the soundbox (these settings use basic layout parameters):
-
showicon=no
: show info icon ("noicon" in basic)
-
size=50px
size (in px: default =250px, minimum is ~40px) Basic: width.
-
style
: any style (CSS format) to be used, e.g.
style=background:yellow;
  • {{IPA soundbox|| ipa symbol=m| size=120px| style=border:1px solid red; background:yellow;}}
{{{1}}}


c. When an error would exist, show an error message:
- default: show errormessage as error message
-
errortext=something is wrong
: Show alternate text when error
-
errortext=
: blank, no output at all (no showbox)

Example of check file once:

  • See {{infobox IPA}}. First the file is checked, and returns filename if exists. Then if there is a filename, the infobox row is composed, including the soundbox set with
    checkexist=no
    
    .
Full parameter list
{{IPA soundbox
<!-- GENERAL -->
| ipa symbol    =
| style         =
| errortext     =
<!-- ABOVE -->
| show box above=
| IPAsym name   =
| showsymbol    =
| line-height   =
<!-- PLAYER -->
| soundfile     =
| checkexist    =
| showicon      =
| width         =
| size          =
}}
Possible errors
1. IPA symbol unknow in IPAsym list
2. File does not exist
When an error exists, no button will be shown.
