--also strips out flags and images if desired

function p.main(frame)
text = frame.args[1]
if args.flag then text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '<span class="flagicon">.-</span>', '') end --strip out flags
if args.file then text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[File:.-%]%]', '') end --strip out files
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[.-|', '') --strip out piped link text
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[', '') --then strip out remaining [ and ]
