Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Romanizes double vowels per the standard outlined in Hepburn Romanization.
Implemented in Template:Hepburn - Please use this instead of using this directly. It enforces subst for this *very* costly module.

Any double vowels will get converted to a long vowel, ou will get converted to ō.

{{#invoke:Hepburner|toHepburn|Kinou}} => Kinō

{{#invoke:Hepburner|toHepburn|いきましょう}} => いきましょう
{{#invoke:Hepburner|toHepburn|ちゅうにびょう}} => ちゅうにびょう
{{#invoke:Hepburner|toHepburn|つづく}} => つづく
note: oU aA or the like will break it. You should never, ever, ever do this regardless, but note that is a limitation. If you need that, add it to the list, following the current pattern.
