ഘടകം:Separated entries
ദൃശ്യരൂപം
This module is being considered for merging with Module:Br separated entries. Please discuss this matter at this page's entry at miscellany for deletion to help reach a consensus. |
This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
This Lua module is used on approximately 7,00,000 pages, or roughly 133% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
[തിരുത്തുക]Module:Separated entries is inspired by Module:Br separated entries and serves as a templating front-end to mw.text.listToText
. It takes any number of positional parameters and pieces them together with |separator=
. |conjunction=
can be optionally defined if a different separator is desired between the last and second last items. Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped; if the |separator=
should contain spaces, use the HTML escape code  
. Separated entries does not raise any errors by design.
{{#invoke:Separated entries|main|separator=...}}
-- This module takes positional parameters as input and concatenates them with
-- an optional separator. The final separator (the "conjunction") can be
-- specified independently, enabling natural-language lists like
-- "foo, bar, baz and qux". The starting parameter can also be specified.
local compressSparseArray = require('Module:TableTools').compressSparseArray
local p = {}
function p._main(args)
local separator = args.separator
-- Decode (convert to Unicode) HTML escape sequences, such as " " for space.
and mw.text.decode(args.separator) or ''
local conjunction = args.conjunction and mw.text.decode(args.conjunction) or separator
-- Discard values before the starting parameter.
local start = tonumber(args.start)
if start then
for i = 1, start - 1 do args[i] = nil end
end
-- Discard named parameters.
