Template talk:Latin letter info

code changes

I have updated the code to use {{Cursive script}}, and moved the old code to the sandbox. the reason is to allow the image map to be used in places without the sidebar, but at the same time, eliminate code duplication. in the testcases, I have checked the html source generated by the current and old versions. for example, the html source for the image map for the letter A:
