Module:quote

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Introduction

This module provides the underlying implementation of quote-* templates such as {{quote-book}}, {{quote-journal}} and {{quote-web}}. These templates themselves are implemented using template code which calls this module using {{#invoke:quote|quote_t}}. The module also implements a higher-level interface onto the quote-* templates using {{#invoke:quote|call_quote_template}} (documented below) to simplify writing work-specific quotation templates such as {{RQ:Ascham Scholemaster}} and {{RQ:Shakespeare Titus Andronicus}}. It also provides the implementation of {{quote-meta/paramdoc}} to simplify writing documentation for work-specific quotation templates.

call_quote_template

This is an interface onto quote-* templates such as {{quote-book}}. See {{RQ:Ascham Scholemaster}} for an example. If you write the code the way of this example, it automatically handles |text=, |passage=, |footer=, |brackets= and |authorlink=, and optionally |page= and |pages=. This means you don't have to propagate them explicitly. In general, any arguments given directly to {{#invoke:quote|call_quote_template}} are passed directly to the underlying quote-* template (usually {{quote-book}}), except for the control parameters given below. In addition, certain other arguments are automatically propagated from the outer template (e.g. the call to {{RQ:Ascham Scholemaster}}) to the underyling template (e.g. {{quote-book}}). Specifically:

  • The |template= control parameter specifies the name of the quote-* template to call, defaulting to quote-book.
  • The |textparam= control parameter controls the propagation of the |text= and |passage= parameters and any synonyms. If not given, |text= and |passage= (preferring the former) are passed to the |passage= parameter of the underlying quote-* template. If given, it should be a comma-separated list of parameters that are synonyms for |text=/|passage=; if neither of these is seen, the specified parameters are passed to the |passage= parameter of the underlying quote-* template (processed from left to right if multiple synonyms are given). Specifying |textparam=- disables propagation of |text= and |passage=.
  • The |pageparam= control parameter controls the propagation of the |page= and |pages= parameters and any synonyms. If not given, neither parameter is propagated. If given, |page= and any synonymous parameters specified by |pageparam= (a comma-separated list of parameters) are propagated to the |page= parameter of the underlying quote-* template, and |pages= is propagated to the |pages= parameter of the underlying quote-* template. If there are no synonyms for |page=, but the propagation behavior is still desired, just specify |pageparam=page.
  • The |brackets= parameter is automatically propagated.
  • The |footer= parameter is automatically propagated and surrounded by a call to {{small}}.
  • If a value for |author= is given to {{#invoke:quote|call_quote_template}}, and no value for |authorlink= is given, and the value given for |author= does not have any links or HTML in it, it is propagated to the |authorlink= parameter of the underlying quote-* template.
  • The |propagateparams= control parameter is a comma-separated list of any additional params to propagate to the underlying quote-* template, so you don't have to manually propagate these parameters.
  • The |allowparams= control parameter lists the parameters that are allowed in the outer template (e.g. {{RQ:Ascham Scholemaster}}), in addition to those mentioned above. It should be a comma-separated list of parameters. Parameters not listed and not handled specially will cause an error if given. This allows for parameter checking. If the value is *, parameter checking is disabled.

--[=[
	This module contains functions to implement quote-* templates.

	Author: Benwing2; conversion into Lua of {{quote-meta/source}} template,
	written by Sgconlaw with some help from Erutuon and Benwing2.

	The main interface is quote_t(). Note that the source display is handled by source(), which reads both the
	arguments passed to it *and* the arguments passed to the parent template, with the former overriding the latter.

Normally we parse off inline modifiers and language code prefixes in various places, e.g. he:מרים<tr:Miryem>. But we
exclude HTML entries with <span ...>, <i ...>, <br/> or similar in it, caused by wrapping an argument in {{l|...}},
{{lang|...}} or similar. Basically, all tags of the sort we parse here should consist of a less-than sign, plus letters,
plus a colon, e.g. <tr:...>, so if we see a tag on the outer level that isn't in this format, we don't try to parse it.
The restriction to the outer level is to allow generated HTML inside of e.g. qualifier modifiers, such as
foo<q:similar to {{m|fr|bar}}> (if we end up supporting such modifiers).

Also exclude things that look like URL's from being parsed as having language code prefixes.

Parse a textual property that may be in a foreign language or script and may be annotated with a language prefix and/or
inline modifiers. `val` is the value of the parameter and `fullname` is the name of the parameter from which the value
was retrieved. `explicit_gloss`, if specified and non-nil, overrides any gloss specified using the <t:...> or
<gloss:...> inline modifier.

If `val` is nil, the return value of this function is nil. Otherwise it is parsed for a language prefix (e.g.
'ar:مُؤَلِّف') and inline modifiers (e.g. 'ar:مُؤَلِّف<t:Author>'), and the return value is an object with the following
fields:
  `lang`: The language object corresponding to the language prefix, if specified, or nil if no language prefix is
          given.
  `text`: The text after stripping off any language prefix and inline modifiers.
  `link`: The link part of the text if it consists of a two-part link; otherwise, same as `text`.
  `alt`: Display text specified using the <alt:...> modifier, if given; otherwise, nil.
  `subst`: Substitutions used to generate the transliteration, in the same format as the subst= parameter.
  `sc`: The script object corresponding to the <sc:...> modifier, if given; otherwise nil.
  `tr`: The transliteration corresponding to the <tr:...> modifier, if given; otherwise nil.
  `ts`: The transcription corresponding to the <ts:...> modifier, if given; otherwise nil.
  `gloss`: The gloss/translation corresponding to the `explicit_gloss` parameter (if given and non-nil), otherwise
           the <t:...> or <gloss:...> modifiers if given, otherwise nil.
  `f`: Foreign versions of the text.
  `q`: Left qualifiers.
  `qq`: Right qualifiers.

Note that as a special case, if `val` contains HTML tags at the top level (e.g. '<span class="Arab">...</span>', as
might be generated by specifying {{lang|ar|مُؤَلِّف}}), no language prefix or inline modifiers are parsed, and the return
value has the `noscript` field set to true, which tells format_annotated_text() not to try to identify the script of
the text and CSS-tag the text accordingly, but to leave the text untagged.

This object can be passed to format_annotated_text() to format a string displaying the text (appropriately
script-tagged, unless `noscript` is set, as described above) and modifiers.

Similar to parse_annotated_text() but the parameter value may contain multiple semicolon-separated entities, each with
their own inline modifiers. Some examples:
* mainauthor=Paula Pattengale; Terea Sonsthagen
* author=Katie Brick; J. Cody Nielsen; Greg Jao; Eric Paul Rogers; John A. Monson
* author=Suzanne Brockmann; Patrick G. Lawlor (Patrick Girard); Melanie Ewbank
* author=G Ristori; et al.
* author=Jason Scott; zh:王晰宁<t:Wang Xining>
* editors=zh:包文俊; zh:金心雯
* quotee=zh:張福運<t:Chang Fu-yun>; zh:張景文<t:Chang Ching-wen>

There may be embedded semicolons within brackets, braces or parens that should not be treated as delimiters, e.g.:
* author=Oliver Optic [pseudonym; {{w|William Taylor Adams}}]
* author=author=Shannon Drake (pen name; {{w|Heather Graham Pozzessere}})
* author=James (the Elder;) Humphrys

There may also be HTML entities with semicolons in them:
* author=&#91;{{w|Gilbert Clerke}}&#93;
* 2ndauthor=Martin Biddle &amp; Sally Badham
* author=Peter Christen Asbj&oslash;rnsen

There may be both embedded semicolons and HTML entities with semicolons in them:
* author=&#91;{{w|Voltaire}} [pseudonym; François-Marie Arouet]&#93;

In general we want to treat &#91; like an opening bracket and &#93; like a closing bracket. Beware that they may be
mismatched:
* author=Anonymous &#91;{{w|Karl Maria Kertbeny}}]

Here, `val` is the value of the parameter and `fullname` is the name of the parameter from which the value was
retrieved. `explicit_gloss`, if specified and non-nil, overrides any gloss specified using the <t:...> or <gloss:...>
inline modifier, and `explicit_gloss_fullname` is the name of the parameter from which this value was retrieved. (If
`explicit_gloss` is specified and multiple values were seen, an error results.)

TEXT [TRANSLIT /TRANSCRIPTION/, GLOSS]

`textobj` is as returned by parse_annotated_text(). `tag_text`, if supplied, is a function of one argument to further
