Módulo: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}} → Predefinição:Hatnote

Usage from Lua

To call the module, use

local mHatList = require('Module:Hatnote list')

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.

-- as used in {{about}}, {{redirect}}, and their variants. Also introduced    --
-- are andList & orList helpers for formatting lists with those conjunctions. --
