Template:Loop/doc

This template is used to produce a simple loop. It is based on Module:String, and there is no limit to the number of iterations it can perform.

Usage

{{loop|times to repeat|string}}

If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".

Examples

Markup	Renders as
{{loop|4|n}}	nnnn
{{loop|25|test}}	testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest
{{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}	2.2517998136852E+15
{{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}	202220222022

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{=}}.

Markup	Renders as
{{loop|9|2==}}	=========
{{loop|9|{{=}}}}	=========

Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{#invoke:string|rep}} instead to preserve it.

Markup	Renders as
{{#invoke:String|rep| hello |3}}	" hello hello hello "
{{loop|3| hello }}	"hellohellohello"
