Documentation The documentation below is transcluded from Template:Comma/doc. (edit | history)Separates strings of text with commas. It uses Oxford commas in English.
Usage
This template is a dual-style template. It can be transcluded in two different ways with the exact same output.
Single-template style
{{ comma | <text 1> | <text 2> | ... | <text n> | or = y/yes | sep1 = <custom separator> | sep2 = <custom separator> | sep3 = <custom separator> }}
- Unnamed parameters
Strings of text that will be separated by commas, can be continued nearly infinitely. Empty parameters will be ignored.
- or
Changes the connector word between the last two strings of text from "and" (the default) to "or".
- sep1, sep2, sep3
Custom separators to override the default ones. $sep2 is the separator if there are exactly two strings of text. $sep1 is the separator between all strings of text except the last two and $sep3 is the separator between the last two strings of text.
| Parameter | Default | Example (default) | Example (__)
|
|---|---|---|---|
| sep1 | , |
A, B, C, and D | A__B__C, and D |
| sep2 | and |
A and B | A__B |
| sep3 | , and |
A, B, C, and D | A, B, C__D |
Multi-template style
{{ comma/item | <text 1> }}
{{ comma/item | <text 2> }}
...
{{ comma/item | <text n> }}
{{ comma/end | or = y/yes }}
See above for parameter descriptions. $or can be set either in {{comma/start}} or in {{comma/end}}, both are possible.
This multi-template style is useful when the number of strings is variable, i.e. unknown beforehand, and is often useful within the code of other templates, such as {{distinguish}}.
