Usage
Universal script template
This template is a metatemplate used by such templates as {{term}} and {{t}}; it handles the script selection. It will generate correct attributes and html/xml language tags. If the language is known, it attempts to invoke the most likely script template (e.g. {{Hebr}}, Hebrew script, if lang=he, Hebrew language).
This is only to be used by other templates, never in entries; entries should use the correct script template directly if needed.
Parameters
- (1) text to be tagged
- sc= — optional — the specific script template to call, if known; omit, or set to blank, if the script template should be selected based on lang=.
- lang= — optional, but strongly encouraged — the language code (included in the generated HTML, and used to select a script template if sc= is not specified); should be a valid language code; omit, or set explicitly to blank, if the correct language-code is unavailable.
- face= — optional — one of [term, ital, head, bold] to set default attributes; omit, or set to blank, if none of these is appropriate.
See {{Xyzy/script}} for details of how the script template is selected.

Notes
The name comes from the magic word "xyzzy" from Adventure. It is made to look like an ISO script name, but one very unlikely to be assigned.
