Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

• If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
•  [[Template:Rn/doc]]
• to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
•  <noinclude>[[Template:Rn/doc]]</noinclude>
• to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.

Use this template to format Roman numerals so they appear in a slightly enlarged serifed font.

Usage

Examples:

• {{rn|I}} → I
• {{rn|III}} has three {{rn|I}}s → III has three Is
• {{rn|iv}} → iv
• {{rn|MCMLXVII}} → MCMLXVII
• {{rn|MCMLXVII|border=a}} → MCMLXVII
• {{rn|MCMLXVII|border=t}} → MCMLXVII
• {{rn|MCMLXVII|border=v}} → MCMLXVII
• {{rn|MCMLXVII|border=h}} → MCMLXVII
• {{rn|MCMLXVII|border=vt}} → MCMLXVII

Practice

Explicit Roman numeral formatting is useful when describing Roman numerals themselves, or when Roman numerals may be ambiguous if in the same style as the surrounding prose, or when essential to representing source material, or in other cases of editors' discretion. The Manual of Style on numbers as of August 2022 does not specify formatting other than to use ASCII for Roman numerals in text.
