Template:Trim

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template trims leading and trailing (but not interior) whitespace from a string. The string should be passed as the first unnamed parameter. The parameter must be named |1= if its value contains a = character.

You may substitute this template - that is, if used as Template:Tlxs, the resulting wikicode is "clean".

Usage

{{trim|text}} = text with any leading or trailing whitespace removed.

Examples

• "{{trim|abc}}" produces "abc"
• "{{trim|xyz }}" produces "xyz"
• "{{trim|abc xyz }}" produces "abc xyz"
