Template:Asiantitle/doc

This template is intended to be used inside the "title" or "journal" parameter of citation. It deitalicises an Asian-script (kanji, hangul, etc.) title, while allowing you to provide a transliteration and/or translation inside brackets following the title. (It uses the bracket template rather than manually typing the brackets, to ensure compatibility with the "url" parameter in citation). You can choose to underline the title or surround it by various kinds of brackets; see the style section.
