Template:ifmatch/documentation

Uses Lua:

• Module:ifmatch

• {{ifmatch|string with pattern in it|pattern|pattern was found|pattern wasn't found}}
• {{ifmatch|s=string with pattern in it|pattern=pattern|if_true=pattern was found|if_false=pattern wasn't found}}

↓

• pattern was found
• pattern was found

---

Turn off Lua pattern syntax:

• {{ifmatch|string with Lua pattern syntax %d matching number in it|%d|pattern was found|pattern wasn't found}}
• {{ifmatch|string with Lua pattern syntax %d matching number in it|%d|pattern was found|pattern wasn't found|plain=true}}

↓

• pattern wasn't found
• pattern was found

---

Turn off Unicode features (mw.ustring):

• {{ifmatch|string with non-ASCII numbers ٠١٢٣٤ in it|%d|pattern was found|pattern wasn't found}}
• {{ifmatch|string with non-ASCII numbers ٠١٢٣٤ in it|%d|pattern was found|pattern wasn't found|unicode=false}}

↓

• pattern was found
• pattern wasn't found

---

{{#if:}} is used, so if the |if_true= or |if_false= argument isn't visible, it doesn't have side effects:

• {{ifmatch|string with pattern in it|pattern|pattern was found|{{DISPLAYTITLE:This display title won't be evaluated, so there isn't a "display title was ignored" error message in preview mode.}}}}

↓

• pattern was found
