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:

  1. I don't currently understand them, and
  2. 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.
