Template:Dialog/pipetrick/doc

This template does pipe trick processing on a raw wiki markup string.

Usage

Specify the raw wiki markup through the unnamed parameter.

Examples

input	output
[[foo|]]	[[foo|foo]]	OK
[[w:foo (bar)|]]	[[w:foo (bar)|foo]]	OK
[[:en:b:foo, bar, quux|]]	[[:en:b:foo, bar, quux|b:foo]]	OK
[[foo, bar (quux)|]]	[[foo, bar (quux)|foo, bar]]	OK
[[w:foo#bar (quux)|]]	[[w:foo#bar (quux)|]]	OK

Limitations

For precise simulation of the pipe trick, it shouldn't work in "ref" tags or "gallery" tags, nor with links to sections. As of this writing, the template duplicates the section-link exclusion (see example above), but not the tag exceptions.

Note

This is considered a dialog tool simply because dialog seems the only situation where one would manipulate raw wiki markup text.
