Template:Strlen quick/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Strlen quick. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The Template:Strlen_quick gives the length of parameter 1, as a text string, with a count of 0-80 characters, using a simple, quick method. This markup template was designed to run quickly and use only 5 levels of MediaWiki expansion depth, rather than 9-13 or more levels as in other string-length templates.
- Usage: {{strlen quick|abcdef}} → 6
- {{strlen quick|123456789.}} → 10
- {{strlen quick|2.4| extra= -1}} → 3
The optional parameter "extra= -1" can be used to return a specific value when a text string exceeds the 80-character limit. The default result is -1 to indicate a string longer than 80 characters.
