outputbuffer/Doc

This module provides an easy and efficient way to generate lengthy strings.

Usage

First, load the module.

local newBuffer = require('Module:OutputBuffer')

Then, create the buffer and the functions that act on it.

local getBuffer, print, printf = newBuffer()

getBuffer

local text = getBuffer(sep)

Returns the contents of the buffer, with an optional separator string sep.

print

print(s)

Adds the string s to the buffer.

printf

printf(s, ...)

Adds the string s to the buffer. The string is formatted with any subsequent arguments, following the rules used for string.format.

Example

local newBuffer = require('Module:OutputBuffer') local p = {}  function p.main() local getBuffer, print, printf = newBuffer() print('Welcome to the English Wiki Аԥсуа.') printf('There are currently %d articles on this site.', mw.site.stats.articles) return getBuffer(' ') end  return p  -- Assuming this module's name is "TestModule", and that mw.site.stats.articles returns 4500000, -- {{#invoke:TestModule|main}} would output: -- "Welcome to the English Wiki Аԥсуа. There are currently 4500000 articles on this site."
