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 6: attempt to index global 'args' (a nil value).
