Usage
[edit]Module:Separated entries serves as a template front-end to mw.text.listToText
. It takes any number of positional parameters and pieces them together with |separator=
. |conjunction=
can be optionally defined if a different separator is desired between the last and second last items. The starting positional parameter can be specified using |start=
. Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped. To add deliberate leading and trailing whitespace, use the HTML entity  
for a space and
for a "newline". Separated entries does not raise any errors by design.
{{#invoke:separated entries|main|separator=...}}
For more complex cases – such as selecting the parameters to list, or preprocessing them, or omitting the last parameters – {{#invoke:params|list_values}} is available. The following two examples with “ + ” as delimiter and “ ... ” as conjunction produce a similar result:
{{#invoke:separated entries|main|separator= + |conjunction= ... }}
{{#invoke:params|sequential|squeezing|trimming_values|setting|i/l| + | ... |list_values}}
