local p = {}

function p.main(frame)
	local text = frame.args[1]
	text = mw.text.killMarkers (text)
	text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '<.->.-<.->', '') --strip out tags 
	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, "'''?", "") --not stripping out '''' gives correct output for bolded text in quotes
	return text
