Experimental use of a custom Lua module to handle formatting of a query's results, rather than letting Extension:External Data or Extension:Cargo do it. That way, I should be able to format things how I want, which those extensions don't seem conducive to.
Initial results
Inital results are officially: CRAP
The invoke seems to happen after at least some of the other processing, so for example if the module outputs something like {{blah}}, then it will show up on the wiki page as {{blah}} (as opposed to showing up on the wiki page as the results of calling the blah template).
I thought maybe {{subst}} or safesubst might help, as I know they're somehow used to do... something... that seems like it might be related to this, but:
- I don't currently understand them, and
- They don't help anyway.
I dunno, I have to read documentation, I guess.
Invocation
The greatest
Attempt at template usage: {{large|The greatest}}
This is certainly the greatest Lua module I have ever written.
And, I might add, almost certainly the greatest Lua module ever written.
Post-invocation
Here's stuff after the invoke.
