--italic=invert disables automatic italic markup.  Individual leading/trailing
apostrophes are converted to their html numeric entity equivalent so that the new italic markup doesn't become
bold markup inadvertently.
Leading and trailing wiki markup is extracted from args.text into separate table elements.  Addition, removal,
replacement of wiki markup is handled by a string.gsub() replacement table operating only on these separate elements.
In the string.gsub() matching pattern, '.*' matches empty string as well as the three expected wiki markup patterns.
This function expects that markup in args.text is complete and correct; if it is not, oddness may result.

Default behavior of the  and  templates is to add categorization when the templates are used in mainspace.
This default functionality may be suppressed by setting |nocat=yes or |cat=no.  This function selects one of these two parameters
to control categorization.
Because having two parameters with 'opposite' names and 'opposite' values is confusing, this function accepts only affirmative
values for |nocat= and only negative values for |cat=; in both cases the 'other' sense (and non-sense) is not accepted and the
parameter is treated as if it were not set in the template.
Sets args.nocat to true if categorization is to be turned off; to nil if the default behavior should apply.
Accepted values for |nocat= are the text strings:
	'yes', 'y', 'true', 't', on, '1'		-- มอดูล:Yesno returns logical true for all of these; false or nil else
for |cat=
	'no', 'n', 'false', 'f', 'off', '0'		-- มอดูล:Yesno returns logical false for all of these; true or nil else
**
local function validate_cat_args (args)
	if not (args.nocat or args.cat) then										-- both are nil, so categorize
		return;
	end
	
	if false == yesno (args.cat) or true == yesno (args.nocat) then
		args.nocat = true;														-- set to true when args.nocat is affirmative; nil else (as if the parameter were not set in the template)
	else																		-- args.nocat is the parameter actually used.
		args.nocat = nil;

For the  templates, the only parameter required to be set in the template is the language code.  All
other parameters can, usually should, be written in the template call.  For  templates for languages
that can have multiple writing systems, it may be appropriate to set |script= as well.
For each  template choose the appropriate entry-point function so that this function knows the default
styling that should be applied to text.
For normal, upright style:
	code=xx
For italic style:
	code=xx
All other parameters should be received from the template's frame (parent frame)
Supported parameters are:
	|code = (required) the IANA language code
	|script = IANA script code; especially for use with languages that use multiple writing systems
	|region = IANA region code
	|variant = IANA variant code
	|text = (required) the displayed text in language specified by code
	|link = boolean false ('no') does not link code-spcified language name to associated language article
	|rtl = boolean true ('yes') identifies the language specified by code as a right-to-left language
	|nocat = boolean true ('yes') inhibits normal categorization; error categories are not affected
	|cat = boolian false ('no') opposite form of |nocat=
	|italic = boolean true ('yes') renders displayed text in italic font; boolean false ('no') renders displayed text in normal font; not set renders according to initial_style_state
	|lit = text that is a literal translation of text
	|label = 'none' to suppress all labeling (language name, 'translit.', 'lit.')

Entry point for .
this function calls _lang_xx() to render non-English text.  The  templates have three positional paramters
but  has four:
				
4	
				
		
The calls to lang_xx_args_get() and _lang_xx() use 'Langx' as a flag for those functions to select the proper
positional parameters.
depends on the calling template to select 'inherit' or 'italic' as the default renderer.
can't do that so, intead, relies on the list of tags scraped from the  templates that call
lang_xx_inherit().  
local function langx (frame)
	local args_t = lang_xx_args_get (frame, 'Langx');							-- get the arguments; 'Langx' is the  used to decide which positional param is 'text', 'translit', 'lit'
