Methods

(static) brsToNewlines(code, replacement) → {string}

Parameters:
Name Type Description
code string
replacement string

(static) endWithTwoNewlines(code) → {string}

Source:

Modify a string or leave it unchanged so that is has two newlines at the end of it. (Meant for section wikitext.)

Parameters:

code string
Returns:
Type
string
Source:

Mask links that have |, replace | with {{!}}, unmask links. If maskedTexts is not provided, sensitive code will be masked as well.

Also masks bare { and } that weren't identified as part of other markup (e.g. try quoting the sentence "Или держал в голове то, что практика использования {{doc/begin}} ... делали

вместо шаблона." in https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jack_who_built_the_house#c-Jack_who_built_the_house-2020-03-22T12:18:00.000Z-DonRumata-2020-03-22T11:05:00.000Z

  • "

Returns:
Type
RegExp

(static) maskDistractingCode(code) → {string}

Source:

Replace HTML comments (<!-- -->), <nowiki>, <syntaxhighlight>, <source>, and <pre> tags content, left-to-right and right-to-left marks, and also newlines inside some tags (<br\n>) in the code with spaces.

This is used to ignore comment contents (there could be section code examples for novices there that could confuse search results) but get right positions and code in the result.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
code string
Returns:
Type
string

(static) normalizeCode(text) → {string}

string

(static) removeWikiMarkup(code) → {string}

Source:

Remove certain kinds of wiki markup from code, such as formatting, links, tags, and comments. Also replace multiple spaces with one and trim the input. The product of this function is usually not for display (for example, it just removes template names making the resulting code look silly), but for comparing purposes.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
code string
Returns:
Type
string
