High-use template and update /doc

New page

{{Module rating |general}}

{{High-use}}

Implements Lua functions [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#mw.text.decode|mw.text.decode]], [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#mw.text.encode|mw.text.encode]] in a module.
:<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:decodeEncode|decode|s=Source&nbsp;text&copy;}}</nowiki></code> → <code><nowiki>Source text©</nowiki></code>

See [[List of XML and HTML character entity references]].

== Decode ({{mono|1=&copy;}} → ©) ==
{{hatnote|See {{slink||Known issues}} for possible THIN SPACE, epsilon issues}}
:Decodes [[List of XML and HTML character entity references|Named Entities]] ''from'' entity name ''into'' a regular (unicode) character:
:<code>&copy;</code> → <code>©</code>
:<code>&gt;</code> → <code>></code>

All welldefined named entities are decoded ([https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/named-characters.html#named-character-references HTML Named character references], formally: as defined in the [https://www.php.net/get_html_translation_table PHP table]).

:A regular, rendered sentence:
::"At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we , we ⁄walked⁄."

:In code:
::"<code>At 100&nbsp;&deg;F, & with a &quot;burning&quot; sun above, we &frasl;walked&frasl;.</code>" -- wikitext

:Processing:
:<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:decodeEncode|decode|s=At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we &frasl;walked&frasl;.}}</nowiki></code> →
::<code>{{#invoke:decodeEncode|decode|s=At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we &frasl;walked&frasl;.}}</code> -- In code: straight characters, no named entities.

:Renders, again:
::"At 100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we ⁄walked⁄."

===Decode a reduced set only===
By setting {{para|subset_only|true}}, only these five entity names are decoded: '&lt;', '&gt;', '&amp;', '&quot;', '&nbsp;' (that is, into '<', '>', '&', '"', ' ').

:'''Note''': There is a difference with the relevant Lua parameter. (This only concerns your task if you also work directly with the Lua mw.text.decode function). Lua documentation defines parameter {{para|decodeNamedEntities}}, having this effect: when ''omitted or false'', only the reduced set of entities is recognized and decoded. This use of 'false' is ''inverted'' in using {{para|subset_only}}: {{para|decodeNamedEntities|false}} = {{para|subset_only|true}}.

:Also, this module ignores the "omitted" logic: {{para|subset_only}} should be set explicitly to 'true' to be effective.

== Encode (© → {{mono|1=&copy;}}) ==
:Function <code>encode</code> encodes some entity-named characters into that name (for example: <code>&</code> → <code>&amp;</code>).

Regular sentence:
:"At >100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we walked. ©"

In code:
:"<code><nowiki>At >100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we walked. ©</nowiki></code>"

Encode:
:<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:decodeEncode|encode|s=At >100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we walked. ©|charset=&<>{{!}}°"'&©}}</nowiki></code>

:→

:<code><nowiki>At &gt;100 &#176;F, &amp; with a &quot;burning&quot; sun above, we walked. &#169;</nowiki></code>

:Renders as:

:"At >100 °F, & with a "burning" sun above, we walked. ©"
===character set to encode===

Per Lua documentation, only a small set of characters is processed. The characterset can be set (expanded) by using {{para|charset}}.

:Example: {{para|charset|<nowiki><>" \'&</nowiki>}} (the default), {{para|charset|<nowiki><>°"'&©{{!}}</nowiki>}}; characters not in the default will be replaced by their decimal entity: <code>©</code> → <code>&#169;</code> (hexadecimal number, not decimal nor named &copy;)

==Known issues ==
* 13 Sep 2021: NOTE: The encode function with user-supplied charset is now used productively in {{tl|R/superscript}} and {{tl|R/ref}}. Before implementing breaking changes here, these templates need to be adjusted accordingly!

* 26 Sep 2021: {{unichar|2009|THIN SPACE|html=}}
:Note: Possible bug: Decoding <code>&ThinSpace;</code> works, but <code>&thinsp;</code> doesn't.
:Resolved in code.

* 4 Feb 2023: {{unichar|03B5|GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON|html=}}
{{tracked|T328840}}
:See {{slink|Module_talk:DecodeEncode|Bug_report:_bad_decoding_of_U+03B5_ε_(epsilon)}}
