Template:Plain text/testcases

background

by -DePiep (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC) Input string has nested span tags. Current Module:Plain text does not handle these as expected. See Template:Plain text/testcases: output is blank.

In Module:Plain text/sandbox I have simply repeated the stripping line :gsub('<span.->(.-)</span>', '%1'). That works as expected & intended.

Case background: {{Val}} formats compound numbers, and also adds tags like:

{{Val|123.45|7}} → 123.45±7

<span class="nowrap"><span data-sort-value="7002123450000000000♠"></span>123.45<span style="margin-left:0.3em;margin-right:0.15em;">±</span>7</span>

Nesting the module or template call in-page does not solve it.

I propose to consider implementation of this sandbox trial.
