Usage
Usage via templates
This module supports {{Demo}}
{{#invoke:Demo|main}}
and {{Demo inline}}
{{#invoke:Demo|inline}}
The input must be wrapped in <nowiki>...</nowiki>
tags or else it may be processed before the module can read it.
Usage in a module
If you want to use this in another module (such as to make the output prettier), you can get values like so:
require('Module:demo').get(frame)
Function get() returns a table containing:
source
= the source code (without<pre>...</pre>
wrappers, characters substituted with html entities)output
= the execution result of the source.frame
= the frame from which this template took the parameter.
By default, get() takes the first parameter of frame. If the frame uses a different parameter name for the nowiki-wrapped source, then place that name (as a string) as the second parameter, like so require('Module:demo').get(frame, 'alternate_name')
Example:
p = {}
function p.main(frame)
local parts = require('Module:demo').get(frame)
return '<Pretty html><pre>' .. parts.source .. '</pre><more pretty html>' .. parts.output .. '<even more pretty html>'
end
return p
