Template:Conlang/CXS table

Usage

When viewed directly, this table lists all the CXS symbols and other notations, sorted by "primary" character — usually the first character, but notations starting with an underscore, and angle-bracketed letters such as <F>, are grouped by second character. When transcluded, the table lists each entry only when its class parameter is specified; the classes are:

uppercase — symbols starting with an upper-case letter
lowercase — symbols starting with a lower-case letter
digit — symbols starting with a digit
special — symbols starting with a non-alphanumeric
nonsymbol — non-symbols
