Template:Str len/doc

This is the str len meta-template.

It takes a string as parameter and returns its length (excluding spaces at the start and end). It can now count as high as necessary.

Examples
If the parameter is empty or undefined it is considered to be of zero length:


 * returns 0
 * returns 0
 * returns 0

It counts the length correctly, even if the string contains spaces, looks like a number, or contains special characters:


 * returns 6


 * returns 7


 * returns 8

It can measure strings up to 500 in length, and returns 500 for strings that are too long:


 * returns 499
 * returns 1000

Technical details
This is the first general-purpose template to be implemented using mw:Extension:Scribunto. The Lua code is located in Module:String.
