Template:fr-verb/documentation

Usage

This template formats the head word (in bold) and category for French verbs. It takes the following parameters:

|type=

Verb type, for categorization (see below).

|head=

Override the headword display, used to add links to individual words in a multi-word term.

|splithyph=1

Indicate that automatic splitting and linking of words should split on hyphens in multiword expressions with spaces in them (splitting on hyphens is automatic if there are no spaces in the term). See below and Module:fr-headword.

Autosplitting

The template uses an intelligent algorithm to split and link words in multiword expressions. Individual words of a multiword expression like tout le monde will be linked, as will individual words in a hyphenated expression like avant-avant-hier and parts of words with apostrophes in them, like n’importe quoi (linked as [[n']][[importe]] [[quoi]]). See Module:fr-headword for more details.

Verb types

When a verb type is specified using |type=, the template categorizes as follows:

• auxiliary, Category:French auxiliary verbs
• defective, Category:French defective verbs
• impersonal, Category:French impersonal verbs
• modal, Category:French modal verbs
• reflexive, Category:French reflexive verbs
• transitive, Category:French transitive verbs
• intransitive, Category:French intransitive verbs
• ambitransitive (ambi), both Category:French transitive verbs and Category:French intransitive verbs
• any other parameter leads to no extra categorization
