Uses Lua:

• Module:definition/templates

This creates a definition line for literal senses in otherwise figurative or idiomatic expressions.

Usage

The template should be placed in a definition line.

# {{&lit}}

The order of senses should be either figurative first or literal first, choosing the most appropriate for the given instance. This notion also accords with the spirit of Wiktionary:Style guide § Definition sequence, which wants the usefulness to an average user to be the chief criterion for the order of senses.
