Template:LORD/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:LORD (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

[edit] Usage

{{LORD}} gives the standard translation with small capitals for the Hebrew name for God (יהוה‎, transliterated as YHWH, interpreted as Yahweh), as it is translated in the King James Bible and other English Bibles: The LORD. This name is the distinctive personal name of the God of Israel.

The all caps or small caps writing differentiate this from "Lord" in normal type, which is the standard translation for the Hebrew epithet אדני (transliterated Adonai), meaning "Lord".

[edit] Technical

The template wraps code around an all-caps "LORD" so that the all-caps word is preserved when the text is copy-pasted, or when it is displayed in degraded form on a non-CSS or mobile browser, or when it is displayed as a text snippet on a search engine results page. (See also Template:sc.)
