Module:For nowiki/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Module:For nowiki. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Module page. |
This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages. 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 many pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this module should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module implements a foreach loop that can be used from wikitext. It exports two functions:
main
- Implements {{For nowiki }}, which can be used with explicitly provided parameters. Should not be called diretly.template
- Designed to be used from within other templates. It takes explicit configuration parameters but it uses parameters passed to the parent frame (the template) for all others. Should be called directly.
Usage
{{#invoke:For nowiki|template|separator|<nowiki>wikitext</nowiki>
|offset=offset}}
separator
andwikitext
function the same as described in Template:For nowiki/doc#Usage.offset
is the offset of the first argument to process. Defaults to 0, which means the|1=
parameter passed to the template is the first parameter processed.
Example
If you have a template _TEMPLATE_
:
{{#invoke:For nowiki|template|
|<nowiki>* {{{i}}} is {{{1}}}. Next is {{#expr:{{{i}}} + 1}}.</nowiki>}}
Then calling:
{{_TEMPLATE_|A|B|Foo|Orange}}
Would produce: Template:Call wikitext
