    This function attempts to invert the italic markup a args.text by adding/removing leading/trailing italic markup
    in args.text.  Like |italic=unset, |italic=invert disables automatic italic markup.  Individual leading/trailing
    apostrophes are converted to their html numeric entity equivalent so that the new italic markup doesn't become
    bold markup inadvertently.
    
    Leading and trailing wiki markup is extracted from args.text into separate table elements.  Addition, removal,
    replacement of wiki markup is handled by a string.gsub() replacement table operating only on these separate elements.
    In the string.gsub() matching pattern, '.*' matches empty string as well as the three expected wiki markup patterns.
    
    This function expects that markup in args.text is complete and correct; if it is not, oddness may result.

    When |italic= is set and has an acceptible assigned value, return the matching css font-style property value or,
    for the special case 'default', return nil.

    When both |italic= and |italics= are set, returns nil and a 'conflicting' error message.
    
    The return value nil causes the calling lang, lang_xx, or transl function to set args.italic according to the template's
    defined default ('inherit' for {{lang}}, 'inherit' or 'italic' for {{lang-xx}} depending on
    the individual template's requirements, 'italic' for {{transl}}) or to the value appropriate to |script=, if set ({{lang}}

    	no		-	force args.text to be rendered in normal font; returns 'normal'
    	unset	-	disables font control so that font-style applied to text is dictated by markup inside or outside the template; returns 'inherit'

    Default behavior of the {{lang}} and {{lang-xx}} templates is to add categorization when the templates are used in mainspace.
    This default functionality may be suppressed by setting |nocat=yes or |cat=no.  This function selects one of these two parameters
    to control categorization.
    
    Because having two parameters with 'opposite' names and 'opposite' values is confusing, this function accepts only affirmative
    values for |nocat= and only negative values for |cat=; in both cases the 'other' sense (and non-sense) is not accepted and the
    parameter is treated as if it were not set in the template.
    
    Sets args.nocat to true if categorization is to be turned off; to nil if the default behavior should apply.
    
    Accepted values for |nocat= are the text strings:
    	'yes', 'y', 'true', 't', on, '1'		-- [[Module:Yesno]] returns logical true for all of these; false or nil else
    for |cat=
    	'no', 'n', 'false', 'f', 'off', '0'		-- [[Module:Yesno]] returns logical false for all of these; true or nil else

    extracts and returns IETF language tag parts:
    	primary language subtag (required) - 2 or 3 character IANA language code
    	script subtag - four character IANA script code
    	region subtag - two-letter or three digit IANA region code
    	variant subtag - four digit or 5-8 alnum variant code; only one variant subtag supported
    	private subtag - x- followed by 1-8 alnum private code; only supported with the primary language tag
    
    in any one of these forms
    	lang					lang-variant
    	lang-script				lang-script-variant
    	lang-region				lang-region-variant
    	lang-script-region		lang-script-region-variant
    	lang-x-private	
    	
    each of lang, script, region, variant, and private, when used, must be valid
    
    Languages with both two- and three-character code synonyms are promoted to the two-character synonym because
    the IANA registry file omits the synonymous three-character code; we cannot depend on browsers understanding
    the synonymous three-character codes in the lang= attribute.
    
    For {{lang-xx}} templates, the parameters |script=, |region=, and |variant= are supported (not supported in {{lang}}
    because those parameters are superfluous to the IETF subtags in |code=)
    
    returns six  values; all lower case.  Valid parts are returned as themselves; omitted parts are returned as empty strings, invalid
    parts are returned as nil; the sixth returned item is an error message (if an error detected) or nil.

    For the {{lang-xx}} templates, the only parameter required to be set in the template is the language code.  All
    other parameters can, usually should, be written in the template call.  For {{lang-xx}} templates for languages
    that can have multiple writing systems, it may be appropriate to set |script= as well.
    
    For each {{lang-xx}} template choose the appropriate entry-point function so that this function knows the default
    styling that should be applied to text.
    
    For normal, upright style:
    	<includeonly>{{#invoke:lang|lang_xx_inherit|code=xx}}</includeonly>
    For italic style:
    	<includeonly>{{#invoke:lang|lang_xx_italic|code=xx}}</includeonly>
    
    All other parameters should be received from the template's frame (parent frame)
    
    Supported parameters are:
    	|code = (required) the IANA language code
    	|script = IANA script code; especially for use with languages that use multiple writing systems
    	|region = IANA region code
    	|variant = IANA variant code
    	|text = (required) the displayed text in language specified by code
    	|link = boolean false ('no') does not link code-spcified language name to associated language article
    	|rtl = boolean true ('yes') identifies the language specified by code as a right-to-left language
    	|nocat = boolean true ('yes') inhibits normal categorization; error categories are not affected
    	|cat = boolian false ('no') opposite form of |nocat=
    	|italic = boolean true ('yes') renders displayed text in italic font; boolean false ('no') renders displayed text in normal font; not set renders according to initial_style_state
    	|lit = text that is a literal translation of text
    	|label = 'none' to suppress all labeling (language name, 'translit.', 'lit.')
    				any other text replaces language-name label - automatic wikilinking disabled
    	
    	for those {{lang-xx}} templates that support transliteration (those templates where |text= is not entirely latn script):
    	|translit = text that is a transliteration of text
    	|translit-std = the standard that applies to the transliteration
    	|translit-script = ISO 15924 script name; falls back to code
    
    For {{lang-xx}}, the positional parameters are:
    	{{{1}}}	text
    	{{{2}}}	transliterated text
    	{{{3}}}	literal translation text
    no other positional parameters are allowed
