The module defines a set "encoders" which are able to encode the text into a given encoding. More encoders can be added to the module as necessary.
encode
[edit]Function encode(text, encoding)
Takes 'text' in UTF-8 encoding, encodes into 'encoding' and into %-encoding, returns the resulting string.
Explanation
[edit]- UTF-8: the wiki software and all its pages and output use UTF-8.
- %-encoding: 1) encoded text is bound to contain invalid UTF-8 text and Scribunto does not allow modules to return invalid UTF-8 text (replaces any invalid bytes in the output with � [U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER]), 2) primary use of this function is to encode text for use in URLs (external links), for certain sites that use older encodings.

[edit]Number difference
[edit]- Paste input and output hex-numbers to LibreOffice Calc and sort by input
- Convert base-16 [hexadecimal] to base-10 [decimal] (e.g. with onlinenumbertools.com, toolslick.com, or see below custom converter)
- Calculate difference (using references)
- Sort by difference, color the background of repeating differences, sort by input
