Extension:WikiHiero

The WikiHiero extension allows to add Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs from a text written according to the Hieroglyph coding manual syntax.

Syntax
Look at the Hieroglyph coding manual for details.

In brief:
 * - separator
 * : subdivision
 * * juxtaposition
 * ! end of line

Each hieroglyph is given a unique code: This unique code is an extension of Gardiner's list of hieroglyph.
 * A letter [A-Z + Aa] that represents the hieroglyph category (human, god, bird, etc.)
 * A number that represents the rank in this category [1-...]

The Hieroglyph coding manual also allows using the more common phonemes as well as unique code.

For details, see WikiHiero's syntax.
