## Usage
Use this template to show a Chinese name, word, term or phrase in various renderings.  
<pre>  

</pre>  

**Optional flags**  

- child=yes: to use this template inside another infobox. If this flag is set, the <code>title</code> parameter should be omitted.
- order=st: By default Traditional Chinese comes first on display. If this flag is called, Simplified Chinese will be displayed first. This is for articles having to do with PRC, Singapore, Malaysia, or Simplified Chinese.
- hide=no: By default all romanizations and transcriptions are hidden. If this flag is called, all the transcriptions will be shown.

### Optional showflag
By default no romanization will show outside of the hide area. You can call this flag when using the template to have certain romanizations appear permanently in favor of certain regions.

## Alternative usage

<pre>  

</pre>  

which gives the following result:  

## Using the collapse parameter

The collapse parameter allows abbreviated, expandable versions of this template. At is the same template as above, with *collapse* set to *yes*.  
- collapse=yes (collapsable template, initially in collapsed state)
- collapse=no (collapsable template, initially in expanded state)
- if the parameter is omitted, the standard (non-collapsable) version is used.
