Module:Demo/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Demo (see that page for the module itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

Usage[edit]

This module supports {{Demo}}

{{#invoke:Demo|main}}

The input must be wrapped in <nowiki>...</nowiki> tags or else it may be processed before the module can read it. 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
