Template:For loop delimited

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a simplified wrapper for Template:For nowiki. It allows you to iterate over a custom delimited list.

The expected use case for this is to simplify passing lists between templates.

Usage

• {{For loop delimited|separator|delimited string|call=call}}
• {{For loop delimited|separator|delimited string|delim=delim|call=call}}
• {{For loop delimited|separator|delimited string|delim=delim|nowikistart=prefix|nowikiend=postfix}}

Parameters

• separator (required) defines how the items are separated
• delimited string (required is a string separated by delim
• delim (optional) the delimiter for the string, defaults to ,
• Calling (one is required)
  • call template (that takes one unnamed argument) to call (ex, 3x).
  • nowikistart and nowikiend. Code to be placed before and after each param value (ex: for 3x, respectively use <nowiki>{{3x|</nowiki> and <nowiki>}}</nowiki>) Both are required if used

Notes

• Leading and trailing spaces are stripped from delims. ie:

• {{For loop delimited|--|a,b,c,d|call=3x}}
• {{For loop delimited|--|a, b, c, d|call=3x}}
• {{For loop delimited|--|a,b,c,d|delim=, |call=3x}}
• {{For loop delimited|--|a ,b ,c ,d |delim=,|call=3x}}

all return:

aaa--bbb--ccc--ddd
