The module should preferably not be called directly from templates or other modules.
To use it from a template, use <code>{{[[Template:xlit|xlit]]}}</code>.
Within a module, use [[Module:languages#Language:transliterate]].

For testcases, see [[Module:]=] .. title_without_namespace:gsub("/documentation$", "") .. [=[/testcases]].
