--[=[
	This module creates standardised displays for gender and number.
	It converts a gender specification into Wiki/HTML format.
	
	A gender/number specification consists of one or more gender/number elements, separated by hyphens.
	Examples are: "n" (neuter gender), "f-p" (feminine plural), "m-an-p" (masculine animate plural),
	"pf" (perfective aspect). Each gender/number element has the following properties:
	1. A code, as used in the spec, e.g. "f" for feminine, "p" for plural".
	2. A type, e.g. "gender", "number" or "animacy". Each element in a given spec must be of a different type.
	3. A display form, which in turn consists of a display code and a tooltip gloss. The display code
	   may not be the same as the spec code, e.g. the spec code "an" has display code "anim" and tooltip
	   gloss "animate".
    4. A category into which lemmas of the right part of speech are placed if they have a gender/number
	   spec containing the given element. For example, a noun with gender/number spec "m-an-p" is placed
	   into the categories "LANG masculine nouns", "LANG animate nouns" and "LANG pluralia tantum".
