Module:Formatnum/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This module provides a number formatting function. This function can be used from #invoke or from other Lua modules.

This module is used by Module:Complex date

Use from other Lua modules

[edit]

To use the module from normal wiki pages, no special preparation is needed. If you are using the module from another Lua module, first you need to load it, like this:

local mf = require('Module:Formatnum')

(The mf variable stands for Module Formatnum; you can choose something more descriptive if you prefer.)

Most functions in the module have a version for Lua and a version for #invoke. It is possible to use the #invoke functions from other Lua modules, but using the Lua functions has the advantage that you do not need to access a Lua frame object. Lua functions are preceded by _, whereas #invoke functions are not.

main

[edit]
{{#invoke:Formatnum|main|x|lang=|prec=|sep=}}
mf.formatNum(x, lang, prec, sep)
