Implements {{Plain text}}. Developed for producing short descriptions from text that may have markup, or other stuff that needs removing from short descriptions.

Usage

{{#invoke:Plain text|main|'''[[foo|hah]]''' is '''''[[gah]]'''''}} --> hah is gah

See also


--converts text with wikilinks to plain text, e.g "[[foo|gah]] is [[bar]]" to "gah is bar"
--removes anything enclosed in tags and files, and italic and bold markup
local p = {}

function p.main(frame)
	local text = frame.args[1]
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '<.->.-<.->', '') --strip out flags, plus any other tags, e.g footnotes
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[File:.-%]%]', '') --strip out files
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[.-|', '') --strip out piped link text
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[', '') --then strip out remaining [ and ]
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%]', '')
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, "'''''", "") --strip out italic and bold markup
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, "''''", "")
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, "'''", "")
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, "''", "")
	return text
