emit hlist rather than raw text string: more accessible

New page

--[[
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}})
--]]
function p._main(args)
local pattern = "^"..args[1].."_?(%d+)$" -- pattern to match
local values = {}
for k, v in pairs(args) do --- loop through all arguments
if k == args[1] then --- if argument is just "foo", put it first
values[1] = v
else
ord = tonumber(mw.ustring.match(k,pattern)) --- if "foo_?%d+", extract number
if ord then
values[ord+2] = v --- put value into list at number+2 (to keep "foo" first, even for foo0)
end
end
end
values = compressSparseArray(values) --- squeeze out gaps/nils in values, keep ordering
local limit = tonumber(args._limit) or 4
if #values == 0 then
return ''
end
if #values == 1 then
return values[1]
end
if #values > limit then
return clist(values) --- if longer than limit, call Module:Collapsible list
end
return hlist(values) --- otherwise create horizontal list
end

function p.main(frame)
local args = getArgs(frame)
return p._main(args)
end

return p
