--[[
This module provides the core functionality to a set of templates used to
display a list of taxon name/authority pairs, with the taxon names optionally
italicized, wikilinked and/or emboldened. Such lists are usually part of
taxoboxes.
]]

-- use a function from Module:TaxonItalics to italicize a taxon name
local TaxonItalics = require("Module:TaxonItalics")

local p = {}

--[[=========================================================================
Utility function to strip off any initial † present to mark the taxon as
extinct. The † must not be italicized, emboldened, or included in the
wikilinked text, so needs to be added back afterwards.
† is assumed to be present as one of:
* the unicode character †
* the HTML entity &dagger;
* the output of {{extinct}} – this will have been expanded before reaching this
module and is assumed to have the form ''
The function returns two values: the taxon name with any † before it removed
and either '†' if it was present or the empty string if not.
=============================================================================]]
function p.stripDagger(taxonName)
local dagger = ''
if mw.ustring.sub(taxonName,1,1) == '†' then
taxonName = mw.ustring.sub(taxonName,2,#taxonName)
dagger = '†'
else
if string.sub(taxonName,1,8) == '&dagger;' then
taxonName = string.sub(taxonName,9,#taxonName)
dagger = '†'
else
-- did the taxon name originally have {{extinct}} before it?
if (string.sub(taxonName,1,5) == '<abbr') and mw.ustring.find(taxonName, '†') then
taxonName = string.gsub(taxonName, '^.*</abbr>', '', 1)
dagger = '†'
end
end
end
return taxonName, dagger

--[[=========================================================================
The function returns a list of taxon names and authorities, appropriately
formatted.
Usage:
{{#invoke:TaxonList|main
|italic = yes - to italicize the taxon name
|linked = yes - to wikilink the taxon name
|bold = yes - to emboldent the taxon name
|incomplete = yes - to output "(incomplete)" at the end of the list
}}
The template that transcludes the invoking template must supply an indefinite
even number of arguments in the format
|Name1|Author1 |Name2|Author2| ... |NameN|AuthorN
=============================================================================]]
