- I'd like to have a {{nbsp:string}} function, to replace all spaces
with html entities into string. It would very useful to format table cell content where spaces must be avoided, while saving the original string.
There's a class for this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Nowrap
- I'd like to generalize {{#titleparts:string}} transforming it into a
general str.split() function something like {{split:string|char}} where string is the string to split, and char is the splitting character). I use a lot #titleparts as a "string-splitter", and I can manage difficult issues with ease (i.e.: how to pass multiple values into a single parameter of a template) but sometimes I'd like to use a character different from / (i.e. splitting a list of page/subpage names).
This should be http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions , which will never be implemented in Wikimedia projects.
1. Thank you Nemo!! Problem solved. 2. There are lots of string functions already implemented - lc, uc, lcfirs, ucfirst, #titleparts... PAGENAME, FULLPAGENAME, BASEPAGENAME... - today. IMHO a generalized *split* function would be great to extend just a little bit the field of #titleparts to implement an efficient, simple way to manage simple arrays. StringFunctions could fire fantasy - *split* function would only increase efficiency to solve common issues.
