Usage
This helps with the creation of doc pages for Lua metamodules that reference the Scribunto manual or specific function within it.
{{scribunto
|<!--anchor-->
|<!--link text-->
}}
If an anchor is provided, the link will be wrapped in <code>...</code>. For example:{{scribunto|mw.html.create}}produces this link:
mw.html.create
{{scribunto|HTML_library|mw.html}}produces this link: mw.html
Advanced
|self= and |args=
You may also use |self={{PAGENAME}} to reference your own functions and |args= to specify args, like so:{{scribunto|self=Buffer/doc|:_all|args=...}}produces this link:
Buffer:_all( ... )
If the first char matches the pattern ^[:%.] then title specified by |self= will be inserted in front, minus any subpages, unless
escaped with the \ char:
{{scribunto|self=Example\/testcases/doc|.test1|args=string}}produces:
Example/testcases.test1( string )
no 'main'
If your module has no "main" method (e.g. Module:Buffer), you can pass the escape char\ as the first char in the function name to make a self-reference:{{scribunto|self=Buffer/doc|\|args=...}}produces:
Buffer( ... )
'
If the second parameter contains ***, then the first param will be substituted (or the self-reference, as applicable): {{scribunto|self=Buffer|\|require('Module:***')|args=...}}require('Module:Buffer')( ... )
|args2= and |args3=
Use to specify up to 3 argument variations.{{scribunto|table.insert|args=table, value|args2=table, pos, value}}
table.insert( table, value )
table.insert
( table, pos, value )
|plain=
If set to anything, the result will no longer be wrapped in <code>...</code>.
