==Purpose==<br />
The module is primarily intended for use by the [[WP:Automated taxobox system|automated taxobox system]]. It supports the correct italicization of scientific names. Botanical ([[International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants|ICNafp]]) names may contain "connecting terms"; these must not be italicized. The hybrid symbol, ×, should also not be italicized. The module optionally wikilinks and abbreviates italicized names.<br />
<br />
For non-virus taxa, italics are used at the rank of genus or below. The module does not decide whether a scientific name should be italicized. Use {{tlx|Is italic taxon}} for this purpose.<br />
<br />
==Usage==<br />
* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name<br />
* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|linked=yes}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name, wikilinking the italicized output to the unchanged input<br />
* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|abbreviated=yes}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name, abbreviating all but the last part to the first letter<br />
* <nowiki>{{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|TAXON_NAME|dab=yes}}</nowiki> – italicizes a taxon name, treating any parenthesized part as a disambiguation term, and not italicizing it<br />
<br />
The parameters can be combined. It can also be used via {{tl|Taxon italics}}.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
===Just italicized===<br />
;Connecting terms<br />
* Pinus subg. Pinus → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Pinus subg. Pinus}}<br />
* P. subgenus Pinus → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|P. subgenus Pinus}}<br />
* P. subsect. Pinaster → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|P. subsect. Pinaster}}<br />
* Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala}}<br />
* Aster ericoides var. ericoides → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Aster ericoides var. ericoides}}<br />
* A. ericoides varietas ericoides → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|A. ericoides varietas ericoides}}<br />
* A. e. subvar. ericoides → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|A. e. subvar. ericoides}}<br />
Botanical names may contain only one infraspecific epithet; a string like "Fragaria vesca subsp. vesca f. semperflorens" is a classification, not a name, and is not handled by the module.<br />
<br />
;Hybrid symbols<br />
* Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus × submacrophylla}}<br />
* ×Beallara → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|×Beallara}}<br />
* &amp;times; Beallara → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|&times; Beallara}}<br />
* <nowiki>{{hybrid}}</nowiki>Beallara → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|{{hybrid}}Beallara}}<br />
<br />
===Linked===<br />
Using {{para|linked|yes}}<br />
* Populus sect. Aigeiros → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Populus sect. Aigeiros|linked=yes}}<br />
* Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus × submacrophylla|linked=yes}}<br />
<br />
===Abbreviated===<br />
Using {{para|abbreviated|yes}}<br />
* Populus sect. Aigeiros → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Populus sect. Aigeiros|abbreviated=yes}}<br />
* Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala|abbreviated=yes}}<br />
* [also linked] × Sorbaronia mitschurinii → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|× Sorbaronia mitschurinii|abbreviated=yes|linked=yes}}<br />
* [also linked] Elaeagnus × submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus × submacrophylla|abbreviated=yes|linked=yes}}<br />
* Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus ×submacrophylla|abbreviated=yes}}<br />
* Elaeagnus <nowiki>{{hybrid}}</nowiki> submacrophylla → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Elaeagnus {{hybrid}} submacrophylla|abbreviated=yes}}<br />
<br />
===Disambiguation terms===<br />
By default, a parenthesized part of a taxon name is assumed to be a subgenus name, and is italicized:<br />
* Varanus (Hapturosaurus) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Varanus (Hapturosaurus)}}<br />
* Caia (plant) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Caia (plant)}} – {{red|wrong}}<br />
To treat a parenthesized part as a disambiguation term, use {{para|dab|yes}}<br />
* Caia (plant) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Caia (plant)|dab=yes}}<br />
* (also linked) Caia (plant) → {{#invoke:TaxonItalics|main|Caia (plant)|linked=yes|dab=yes}}<br />
