ਮੌਡਿਊਲ:Compact list

Usage

Lua code for inside of another template (e.g., an infobox). Creates a compact list out of a set of named arguments. For example, if the argument to this module is "foo", it searches for all arguments named "foo" followed by an optional underscore followed by one or more digits. It then assembles all of the named argument into a "pretty printed" list, in numerical order. If the list is short (<= 4 long), the module uses {{hlist}} to print in the "A·B·C·D" format. If it is long, it will use {{collapsible list}}. The threshold can be set with |_limit=.

Typical usage in a parent template, which gathers all arguments named "foo":

{{#invoke:Compact list|main|foo|_limit=4}}

Examples

Note: these examples have the named arguments passed to the module directly. In practice, these named arguments would be passed to the template that invokes the module.

{{#invoke:Compact list|main|ook|ook=A|spud=1234}} → A

{{#invoke:Compact list|main|ook|ook1=A|ook_2=B}} →

• A
• B

{{#invoke:Compact list|main|ook|ook=A|ook1=B|ook2=C|ook3=D}} →

• A
• B
• C
• D

{{#invoke:Compact list|main|ook|ook1=A|ook5=B|ook20=C|ook3000=D|ook342345=E|foofoofoo=234}} →

--[[
Combine named-and-numbered arguments into a pretty list.
"Named-and-numbered" means foo, foo0, foo_1, foo234: anything that matches foo_?%d+

Arguments:
  args[1] = name to search arguments
  rest of args = arguments to search
Returns:
  Pretty list, in order of argument number.
  "foo" comes first, then "foo0", "foo1", ... "fooN"
  The argument numbering does not have to be sequential
  
  If number of args that match <= args[_limit] (4 default),
     returns text list of the form "A, B, C and D"
  otherwise returns collapsible list ({{clist}})
