Entrypoint templating wrapper for Scribunto packages. The module generates an entrypoint function that can execute Scribunto package calls in the template context. This allows a package to support both direct and template invocations.

Template entrypoint function generated by this module.

Parameter: frame Scribunto frame in module context. (Frame)

Notes

• Parent frames are not available in Entrypoint's frame. This is because recursive (grandparent) frame access is impossible in legacy Scribunto due to empty-argument expansion cache limitations.
• As Entrypoint enables template access rather than a new extension hook, it does not work with named numeric parameters such as 1= or 2=. This may result in unexpected behaviour such as Entrypoint and module errors.
