Module:String utilities/documentation

Provides some utility functions for manipulating strings.

Functions

format

lua

This function, unlike lua and lua, takes just two parameters—a format string and a table—and replaces all instances of lua} in the format string with the table's entry for lua. The opening and closing brace characters can be escaped with {\op} and {\cl}, respectively. A table entry beginning with a slash can be escaped by doubling the initial slash.

Examples

• lua

  produces: lua

• lua

  produces: lua

  • Note that the single and double backslashes should be entered as double and quadruple backslashes when quoted in a literal string.
