update to tested sandbox version – should now handle botanical connecting forms better

New page

--[[
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.
]]

-- use a function from Module:TaxonItalics to italicize a taxon name
local TaxonItalics = require("Module:TaxonItalics")

local p = {}

--[[=========================================================================
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 &dagger;
* the output of {{extinct}} – this will have been expanded before reaching this
module and is assumed to have the form ''
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) == '&dagger;' then
taxonName = string.sub(taxonName,9,#taxonName)
dagger = '†'
else
-- did the taxon name originally have {{extinct}} 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:
{{#invoke:TaxonList|main
|italic = yes - to italicize the taxon name
|linked = yes - to wikilink the taxon name
|bold = yes - to emboldent the taxon name
|incomplete = yes - to output "(incomplete)" at the end of the list
}}
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 .. ']]'
end
if italic then
taxonName = TaxonItalics.italicizeTaxonName(taxonName, linked)
end
if bold then
taxonName = '' .. taxonName .. ''
end
result = result .. '<li>' .. dagger .. taxonName
else
result = result .. ' ' .. value .. '</li>'
end
first = not first
end
end
if incomplete then
result = result .. '(incomplete list)'
end
return '<ul style="plainlist">' .. result .. '</ul>'
end

return p
