This is a series of templates to mark sections of English text anywhere on this encyclopedia, using the HTML and XML "lang" attributes. This allows browsers to choose a more appropriate font and rendering system for English text.

(Technical note: Using this template around an entire article creates slightly inappropriate results because the Marathi numbers on the Table of Contents will be marked as English text; there's no away around this, but it's a very minor nitpick.)

Use {{en}} to mark a short section of text as being in English. For example:

{{en|Wikipedia}} येथे केलेले कोणतेही लेखन {{en|GNU Free Documentation License}} (अधिक माहितीसाठी Wikipedia:प्रताधिकार पाहा) अंतर्गत मुक्त उद्घोषित केले आहे असे गृहित धरले जाईल याची कृपया नोंद घ्यावी.

To mix text in other languages, use the {{{2}}} template to mix and match. Also make sure to use that template (i.e., lang|mr) if you're including Marathi text within an English section.
