Documentation

[purge]

This module parses and manipulates HTML strings.

There is currently 3 functions:

• pluralize
• make_possessive
• strip_formatting

pluralize

Pluralizes an HTML string by inserting an "s" between the final alphabetic character and closing tag </

For example, <span>book</span> becomes <span>books</span>.

Notes:

• Won't pluralize anything that already ends in "s".
• Won't pluralize anything that doesn't lua pattern match %a</
• If passing a template that uses a cargo query as the html parameter, be sure that the cargo query is marked with no html or this Module might not be able to expand the template correctly.

Usage

{{#invoke: HTMLParse | pluralize | html = (html string here) }}

Examples

wikitext	result
{{#invoke: HTMLParse | pluralize | html = {{Qud text|&Cultra-light &brobot| notxml }} }}	ultra-light robots
{{#invoke: HTMLParse | pluralize | html = <span style="color:red">big </span><span style="color:blue">book</span> }}	big books

make_possessive

Identical to pluralize except that instead of inserting an s, make_possessive inserts an 's

strip_formatting

Strips HTML tags from the input string. For example,

<span style="color:red;">help!</span>

becomes

help!

Example:

{{#invoke: HTMLParse | strip_formatting | html = <span style="color: #d74200;">c</span><span style="color: #cfc041;">r</span><span style="color: #00c420;">a</span><span style="color: #0096ff;">y</span><span style="color: #da5bd6;">o</span><span style="color: #77bfcf;">n</span><span style="color: #FFFFFF;">s</span> }}

Result:
