সাঁচ:StripWhitespace/doc

এইখন এখন সাঁচ:StripWhitespaceৰ নথিকৰণ উপপৃষ্ঠা। ইয়াত থকা ব্যৱহাৰৰ তথ্য, শ্ৰেণী আৰু অন্য সমলবোৰ মূল সাঁচ পৃষ্ঠাৰ অংশ নহয়।

This is a simple little template, for use in other templates to strip any trailing and/or leading whitespace from unnamed parameters (See original template on Wikipedia).

In MediaWiki templates, trailing and/or leading whitespace is automatically removed from named parameters, but not from unnamed parameters. (Thus we can choose whether this removal is applied, but the choice cannot be made independently of the choice to use named or unnamed parameters. This is apparently some ancient design mistake with which we are now stuck forevermore, in the name of backward-compatibility.^[১])

Usage

The template takes either a parameter, "x", or one unnamed parameter. The value should be numbered parameter from which the whitespace is to be removed.

{{StripWhitespace | x = {{{1|}}} }}

or:

{{StripWhitespace | {{{4|}}} }}

Do not substitute this template – that is, if used as {{subst:StripWhitespace}}, the resulting wikicode is not "clean".

Notes

1. Unfortunately the reverse, avoiding the removal of whitespace while using a named parameter, is not possible.
