Template:Conlang/CXS table
Usage
editWhen viewed directly, this table lists all the CXS symbols and other notations, sorted by "primary" character — usually the first character, but notations starting with an underscore, and angle-bracketed letters such as <F>, are grouped by second character. When transcluded, the table lists each entry only when its class parameter is specified; the classes are:
- uppercase — symbols starting with an upper-case letter
- lowercase — symbols starting with a lower-case letter
- digit — symbols starting with a digit
- special — symbols starting with a non-alphanumeric
- nonsymbol — non-symbols
