 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 1,750,000 pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
Module:Separated entries serves as a template 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. The starting positional parameter can be specified using |start=. 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".
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 named parameters.
local values = compressSparseArray(args)
return mw.text.listToText(values, separator, conjunction)
end
local function makeInvokeFunction(separator, conjunction)
return function (frame)
local args = require('Module:Arguments').getArgs(frame, {
wrappers = {
'Template:Separated entries',
'Template:Br separated entries',
'Tempkate:Comma separated entries'
}
})
args.separator = separator or args.separator
args.conjunction = conjunction or args.conjunction
return p._main(args)
end
end
p.main = makeInvokeFunction()
p.br = makeInvokeFunction('<br />')
