<span style="font-family: monospace;">EB: i am just saying that being a {{thingamabob|tts=eeyeahwuehra|Íæûë€Å}} guy who is a rapper with a ventriloquist doll is not cool by any definition of the word, ironic or otherwise</span>   <!-- context: [https://github.com/GiovanH/unofficial-homestuck-collection/issues/51] [https://homestuck.com/story/386] -->

== Description ==

This is a template for marking words as arbitrarily replaced with something else. It may be useful for humor, for particular kinds of art projects.

In visual browsers, the word will be visible when highlighted. In text-to-speech, it will be pronounced "redacted", or as the string specified with <code>tts</code>. Whatever string was originally entered can still always be viewed in the page's "edit" tab.

== Parameters ==

* <code>tts</code>   - Pronunciation for replaced text. Specify this first so that if screen readers are attempting to edit a page the TTS-friendly text is said before the "irrelevant" visual text which will be not be read as deleted.
* <code>1</code>     - Text that was actually or supposedly "replaced".
* <code>caps</code>  - If present, text will be [[Template:caps|capitalized]]. Use this so that if screen readers are attempting to edit a page [[Template:caps|regular words will not be read as acronyms]].

=== Not present ===

* <code>class</code> - use [[Template:censor]] if you have some reason to customize this. You may copy this template and create another template if you find a new classname and styling you like.

== Internal templates ==

* [[Template:TTS]] - used to specify HTML tag plus pronunciation.
