Template:Trim brackets
This template uses Lua: |
This template trims leading and trailing square brackets and whitespace from a string. This is similar to {{delink}}, but it won't remove brackets from the middle of the string. The string should be passed as the first unnamed parameter or using |1=
if your string contains any =
signs. You may substitute this template - that is, if used as {{subst:trim brackets}}
, the resulting wikicode is "clean".
Usage Edit
{{trim brackets|text}}
= text with any leading or trailing square brackets removed (as long as text doesn't contain any =
signs).
{{trim brackets|1=text}}
= text with any leading or trailing square brackets removed.
Example Edit
- "
{{trim brackets|1= [[abc]] }}
" produces "abc".
- "
{{trim brackets|1= [[abc]], [[def]], and [[ghi]] }}
" produces "abc]], def, and [[ghi"
("{{delink|1= [[abc]], [[def]], and [[ghi]] }}
" produces "abc, def, and ghi").
