Nastier input tests

[edit]
  • Input: style="font-size: 70% ;"
  • Result: Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'unstrip' (string expected, got nil).
  • Input: 'style="font-size: 70% ;"'
  • Result: Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'unstrip' (string expected, got nil).
  • Input: `style="font-size: 70% ;"`
  • Result: Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'unstrip' (string expected, got nil).
  • Input: =70%
  • Result: Lua error: bad argument #1 to 'unstrip' (string expected, got nil).

Yeah, it dies on contact with =. Can it be escaped? (see below: use |1=)

  • Input: {{=}}70%
  • Result: 70
  • Input: style{{=}}"font-size: 70% ;"
  • Result: 70
  • Input: <span style{{=}}"font-size: 70%;">
  • Result: 70
  • Input: <span style<nowiki>=</nowiki>"font-size: 70%;">
  • Result: 70

Yes, though only with {{=}}; it chokes on <nowiki>...</nowiki>. Though this points out the relative uselessness of trying to use this on strings this complicated, since -70 is the opposite of the desired output, 70. It needs to be able to discern with - is directly associated with a numeral (or perhaps a ., since while -.7 is crappy style, it's still a technically valid way to write -0.7.

Try: |1=

  • Input: 1=70%
  • Result: 70 Green tickY


  • Input: <span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="7001123000000000000♠"></span>12.3</span> (produced by {{val|12.3}})
  • Result: 7.001123e+18

After upgrade to match more narrowly
