    Using the "<nowiki>" tag hides the text but counts as +34 characters. So, for the case Nw2, the length is 4+34+4=42, and Nw3 yielded 4+34+2=40 characters long. The mw.text.unstrip function at MediaWiki's "Lua reference manual" (which is not yet live) may be of help with the nowiki tags.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding

    Run-length encoding (RLE) is a form of lossless data compression in which runs of data (consecutive occurrences of the same data value) are stored as a single occurrence of that data value and a count of its consecutive occurrences, rather than as the original run. As an imaginary example of the concept, when encoding an image built up from ...
