Module:Enumerate

Usage

This module is meant to be invoked inside of a template, since it requires the argument list of the calling template.

This module allows the enumeration of a set of parameters with a given prefix. If the prefix was notes, the parameters notes1, notes2, notes3, and so on will be enumerated in a unordered list until it sees the first null parameter.

The prefix is defined by the first argument passed into the invocation.

Template:X35
{{#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|main|notes}}
Any page
{{X35 | notes1 = Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. | notes2 = Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. | notes3 = Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. | notes4 = Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. }}
Output
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

The entries will cut off in the event that the parameters are out of order.
