Module:Table row counter

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module implements the {{table row counter}} template.

Usage from wikitext

This module can be used from wikitext in the same way as the {{table row counter}} template, by simply using {{#invoke:table row counter | main}} in place of {{table row counter}}.

Usage from Lua modules

To use this module from other Lua modules, first load the module.

local mTRC = require('Module:Table row counter')

You can then count table rows by using the _main function.

mTRC._main(args)

args is a table containing the module arguments. See the template documentation for more information about the available arguments, and for general caveats about this module's use.
