Parameters
[မႄးထတ်း]- <1>: "floatright" or "tright" and "floatleft" or "tleft" sets the horizontal placement of the diagram in the article space: "tright" means diagram will be floated to the right allowing any text to flow to the left, and "tleft" means diagram will be floated to the left allowing any text to flow to the right. No entry for this parameter means that the diagram will simply be displayed in the default position on the left.
- <2>: Explanation added to top of diagram. For example, a player's name, the name of an opening, etc. (optional)
- <3>: This is the parameter for the pieces in hand for the White player (gote).
- <4> to <84>: Each number represents a square on the board, from square 3 (9th file, ath rank: "9a") in the upper left of the board to square 83 (1st file, ith rank: "1i") in the lower right of the board. Codes for "piece types" (see below) can be entered to display pieces on the board. No entry of a code means no piece will be displayed on that particular square.
- <85>: This is the parameter for the pieces in hand for the Black player (gote).
- <86>: Explanation added to bottom of diagram; For example, a player's name, etc. (optional)
"Piece type" entry
[မႄးထတ်း]Squares with no entry made for "piece type" will be displayed as an "empty square".
A "piece type" is designated by a combination of two to four letters like XXYZ.
- The XX part represents a one or two letter combination which indicates the piece type.
- The piece type codes are as follows:
/
k - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 or ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (king)
r - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (rook)
b - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (bishop)
g - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (gold)
s - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (silver)
n - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (knight)
l - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (lance)
p - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (pawn)
d - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (dragon or promoted rook)
dx - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (simplified character for promoted rook)
h - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (horse or promoted bishop)
ps - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (promoted silver)
pn - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (promoted knight)
pnx - (variant character for promoted knight)
pl - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo3 (promoted lance)
plx - (variant character for promoted lance)
t - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 (tokin or promoted pawn)
tx - (variant character for promoted pawn)
- Sho shogi codes:
e - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 (elephant)
t - ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 (crown prince or promoted elephant)
- Please note that all of the above combinations are case sensitive, so lower case letters must be used.
- All things considered equal, the "king" of the player who is "sente" (i.e., the player who moves first) is indicated by ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 and the "king" of the player who is "gote" (i.e., the player moves second) is indicated by ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2. In even games between players of different ranks, the "king" of the higher ranked player is ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2, and the "king" of the lower ranked player is ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2. In handicap shogi, even though the ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo moves first, their "king" is ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 and the "king" of the ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo is ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2. In problems, the "king" of the attacking (or mating) side is ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 and the "king" of the defending side is ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2. To indicate ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "gote" (e.g., the lower ranked player in an even game is "gote") or ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "sente", insert ak instead of k into the template.
Sente or gote
[မႄးထတ်း]The Y indicates sente (black) or gote (white). For "sente" add the letter s, and for "gote" add the letter g to the end of the character string. Sente's pieces will be displayed at the bottom of the board facing up and gote's pieces will be displayed at the top of the board facing down. So a "pawn" for "sente" is indicated as ps, while a "rook" for "gote" is indicated as rg.
- - ps
- pg
Last move played
[မႄးထတ်း]The Z indicates the last move played. To indicate a piece that has just been moved, add the letter l (for last) to the end of the character string. For example, the show indicate that the last piece moved was a "rook" by "gote", use rgl.
- rg
- rgl
Pieces-in-hand
[မႄးထတ်း]Pieces-in-hand are entered directly into parameters <3> and <85>. The following characters (and templates) can be used: ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "pawn", ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "lance", ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "knight", ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "silver", ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "gold", ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "bishop", and ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 for "rook".
To indicate that a player is holding more than one of the same type of piece in hand, one may use piece type + (number) if repeating multiple instances of the piece is unwieldy. For example, having 7 pawns in hand can be indicated as ထႅမ်းပလဵတ်ႉ:Nihongo2 (7).

Alternate versions
[မႄးထတ်း]This diagram uses an Arabic numeral to designate each file, and a lowercase alphabetic character to designate each rank.
This template can be easily edited to use Arabic numerals or kanji numerals to designate ranks by simply replacing the number text.
To create a diagram with no rank or file designations, simply delete rows of number and letter.
Regardless of how the ranks are designated, care should be taken to use a form of notation consistent with the diagram to avoid confusion.
