JSchulz:
Have you read the link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbe...
…describing a scientific notation-formatting template? It could use a character-counting parser function that StringFunction could handle if it worked well (which it doesn’t).
I ran this by Jimbo and he thought having a character-counting parser function for Wikipedia made sense. He said he couldn’t pressure Wikipedia’s paid developers to make it and I should run it by Erik to see how he would like to have it handle. Erik referred me to wikitech.
Do you have a volunteer developer in mind who might be interested in making StringFunction bullet-proof?
