Module:Hatnote list
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
Usage from wikitext
adihtanThis 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}}→
Usage from Lua
adihtanTo 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
adihtanandList takes a list in table form, and returns
Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag</ref>a string with the list separated with "and" and commas as appropriate.
orList
adihtanorList takes a list in table form, and returns a string with the list separated with "or" and commas as appropriate.
forSee
adihtan_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.

-- Module:Hatnote list --
-- --
-- This module produces and formats lists for use in hatnotes. In particular, --
-- it implements the for-see list, i.e. lists of "For X, see Y" statements, --
-- as used in {{about}}, {{redirect}}, and their variants. Also introduced --
-- are andList & orList helpers for formatting lists with those conjunctions. --

-- List stringification helper functions
--
-- These functions are used for stringifying lists, usually page lists inside
-- the "Y" portion of "For X, see Y" for-see items.

--Searches display text only

end

local conjunction = s .. options.conjunction .. s
