Module:Hatnote list
Usage from wikitext
This module is not designed be used directly from wikitext even though forSee
does take an initial frame
argument and could potentially be used from wikitext, e.g.:
{{hatnote|PREFIX {{#invoke:Hatnote list|forSee|{{tl|For}}|Module:For|{{tl|About}}|Module:About}} POSTFIX}}
→ Template:Hatnote
Usage from Lua
To call the module, use <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">local mHatList = require('Module:Hatnote list')</syntaxhighlight> or similar, then access its methods through the mHatList
variable (or whatever was used).
andList
andList
takes a list in table form, and returns a string with the list separated with "and" and commas as appropriate.
orList
orList
takes a list in table form, and returns a string with the list separated with "or" and commas as appropriate.
forSee
_forSee
takes three arguments: a table of trimmed arguments with blanks removed, a "from" number with the index to start at, and an options table, and returns a string with a number of "For X, see [[Y]]
" sentences. The links are formatted using the methods from Module:Hatnote.
As a convenience, the forSee
method (without the leading underscore) takes the same arguments except with a frame instead of an args table, using getArgs()
from Module:Arguments to preprocess the arguments.
