The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning the indices you specify are included), and may be negative to count from the other end. For example, {{#invoke:string|sub|12345678|2|-3}} → 23456. Not all the legacy substring templates use this numbering scheme, so check the documentation of unfamiliar templates.
For example, PHP and Python allow this optional parameter, while Pascal and Java do not. With Common Lisp's string-trim function, the parameter (called character-bag) is required. The C++ Boost library defines space characters according to locale, as well as offering variants with a predicate parameter (a functor) to select which characters are ...
The Template:Str_number/trim extracts a number at the start of parameter 1. It takes a string as parameter, and returns the string trimmed to the beginning number if non-numeric text does not appear before the first number.
This template removes the last word of the first parameter, i.e. the last non-space token after the last space. Use |1= for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |sep= can set the separator to any character.
TemplateData for Trim. The template trims whitespace from a string. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status; String: 1:
{{str index|text|number}} = Returns the number-th character of text. Base 1: the first character is numbered 1, and so on. Any leading or trailing whitespace is removed from the string before searching. If the requested position is negative, this function will search the string counting from the last character.
The non-breaking space works within links exactly like a regular space. Thus you can link to [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] directly and it will render as J. R. R. Tolkien. The initials will not be separated across a line break. However, renders the source text harder to read and edit. Avoid using it unless it is really necessary to ...
You are right, 2 spaces makes for easier reading. However, if these pages are rendered according to standard HTML rules (I think they are), you are both wasting your time. HTML ignores all series of spaces after the first one, so 2 spaces (or 10 spaces) are always displayed as one. - Marshman 17:25, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
