Module:LeftAlignedList/doc

Module:LeftAlignedList

Converts a comma-separated string into a wikitext bullet list. Each comma-delimited value becomes its own `*` list item, with surrounding whitespace trimmed. Additional optional functions are also available to support the use cases of other templates and modules.

Usage

Core functionality

{{#invoke:LeftAlignedList|main|Item 1, Item 2, Item 3}}

Output:

* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3

Convert each item into wikilink

{{#invoke:LeftAlignedList|main|Item 1, Item 2, Item 3|link=true}}

Output:

* [[Item 1]]
* [[Item 2]]
* [[Item 3]]

Prepend a value to each item

{{#invoke:LeftAlignedList|main|Item 1, Item 2, Item 3|prepend=prefix/}}

Output:

* Prefix/Item 1
* Prefix/Item 2
* Prefix/Item 3

When combined with link=true, the prepended value is included in the link target, but the item is displayed without it:

{{#invoke:LeftAlignedList|main|Item 1, Item 2, Item 3|link=true|prepend=prefix/}}

Output:

* [[Prefix/Item 1|Item 1]]
* [[Prefix/Item 2|Item 2]]
* [[Prefix/Item 3|Item 3]]

Parameters

main

1

string

A comma-separated string containing the items to convert into a bullet list.

link (optional)

boolean

If specified with a truthy value, each item will be wrapped in double square brackets, rendering it as a wikilink.

Valid values:

• true

• yes

• 1

prepend (optional)

string

If specified, this value is prepended to each item. When link=true, the prepended value is included in the link target, but not the display label.

Notes

• Empty items are ignored (e.g. `A,,B` becomes `A` and `B`).
• If the input contains no commas, it will still be returned as a bullet list with a single `*` item.
