Wikipedia:RESPELL

Syllables are separated by hyphens ("-") in the display. The stress on a syllable is indicated by bold capital letters in the display. For example, the word "pronunciation" (IPA: /prəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/) is respelled prə-NUN-see-AY-shən. In this example, the primary and secondary stress are not distinguished, as the difference is automatic. When primary stress precedes secondary stress, however, it is advised not to emphasize the secondary stress, as in KOWN-tər-fit, as opposed to KOWN-tər-FIT, because otherwise it would be indistinguishable between /ˈkaʊntərˌfɪt/ and /ˌkaʊntərˈfɪt/.

When a certain sound is pronounced by some speakers but not by others, the sound is put inside parentheses (round brackets). For example, the word "fuchsia" (IPA: /ˈfjuːʃ(i)ə/) could be respelled FEW-sh(ee-)ə, which can be pronounced either FEW-shee-ə or FEW-shə.
