| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Chop head and tail. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
Usage
{{Chop head and tail|<string>|<number-L>|<number-R>}}
This template removes <number-L> characters from the start and <number-R> from the end of <string>:
A single parameter may be specified if <number-L> = <number-R>:
Unlinking
This template can be used to "unlink" a linked parameter.
{{Chop head and tail|[[Einstein]]|2}}results in .
Because the default value of <number> is 2, this can be shortened to .
{{Chop head and tail|[[Einstein]]}}
Limitations
- Expensive.
- When used on strings with characters that carry a meaning in wiki-layout, this template will interpret the character as a layout instruction (bugzilla:12974). For example,
{{Chop head and tail|[[123;456]]}}renders as - Supports the character set as defined by {{Str index/getchar}}, so that e.g.
{{Chop head and tail|[[Nürnberg]]}}renders correctly as . However, not all characters are in this set.
