--[[
-- This module is a replacement for {{lang}} and all lang-x templates.
-- It wraps text in an HTML tag containing a lang attribute with a specific
-- language code. This often makes no visible changes to the text, but can help
-- web browsers choose the right font, screen readers use the right
-- pronunciation and more. The plain function wraps the text in the HTML tag,
-- but does not otherwise change the output. The named function adds the name of
-- the language before the text.
