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]]'''''}} --> Lua error at line 7: attempt to call global 'p_main' (a nil value).

--converts text with wikilinks to plain text, e.g "[[foo|gah]] is [[bar]]" to "gah is bar"
--removes anything enclosed in tags that isn't nested, mediawiki strip markers (references etc), files, italic and bold markup
local p = {}

function p.main(frame)
	local text = frame.args[1] or ''
	return p_main(text)
end

function p._main(text)
	text = mw.text.killMarkers(text)
		:gsub('<.->.-<.->', '') --strip out tags
		:gsub('%[%[%s*File%s*:.-%]%]', '') --strip out files
		:gsub('%[%[.-|', '') --strip out piped link text
		:gsub('[%[%]]', '') --then strip out remaining [ and ]
		:gsub("'''''", "") --strip out bold italic markup
		:gsub("'''?", "") --not stripping out '''' gives correct output for bolded text in quotes
	return text
end
