[edit] Usage

For more details on when to use this template, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles).
Syntax
Code {{Nihongo|English|Kanji|Romaji|extra|extra2}}
Gives English (Kanji Romaji?, extra) extra2

This template marks the Kanji segment as being in Japanese Kanji, which helps web browsers display it correctly. It also applies it the t_nihongo_kanji CSS style class.

Parameters 1 and 2 are required. Parameters 4 and 5 can also be directly invoked with extra= and extra2=. Parameter extra2 is useful only in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold).
