Module:TaxonList

--[[ This module provides the core functionality to a set of templates used to display a list of taxon name/authority pairs, with the taxon names optionally italicized, wikilinked and/or emboldened. Such lists are usually part of taxoboxes. ]]

--[[========================================================================= Utility function to strip off any initial † present to mark the taxon as extinct. The † must not be italicized, emboldened, or included in the wikilinked text, so needs to be added back afterwards. † is assumed to be present as one of:

• the unicode character †
• the HTML entity †
• the output of † – this will have been expanded before reaching this

 module and is assumed to have the form '<span ... '

The function returns two values: the taxon name with any † before it removed and either '†' if it was present or the empty string if not. =============================================================================]] function p.stripDagger(taxonName) local dagger = if mw.ustring.sub(taxonName,1,1) == '†' then taxonName = mw.ustring.sub(taxonName,2,#taxonName) dagger = '†' else if string.sub(taxonName,1,8) == '†' then taxonName = string.sub(taxonName,9,#taxonName) dagger = '†' else -- did the taxon name originally have † before it? if (string.sub(taxonName,1,5) == '<span') and mw.ustring.find(taxonName, '†') then taxonName = string.gsub(taxonName, '^.*', , 1) dagger = '†' end end end return taxonName, dagger end

--[[========================================================================= The function returns a list of taxon names and authorities, appropriately formatted. Usage:

The template that transcludes the invoking template must supply an indefinite even number of arguments in the format |Name1|Author1 |Name2|Author2| ... |NameN|AuthorN =============================================================================]] function p.main(frame) local italic = frame.args['italic'] == 'yes' local bold = frame.args['bold'] == 'yes' local linked = frame.args['linked'] == 'yes' if bold then linked = false end -- must not have bold and wikilinked local incomplete = frame.args['incomplete'] == 'yes' local taxonArgs = frame:getParent().args local result = -- iterate over unnamed variables local taxonName local dagger local first = true -- is this the first of a taxon name/author pair? for param, value in pairs(taxonArgs) do if tonumber(param) then if first then taxonName = mw.text.trim(value) -- if necessary separate any initial † from the taxon name if linked or italic or bold then taxonName, dagger = p.stripDagger(taxonName) else dagger = end if linked and not italic then taxonName = '' .. taxonName ..
