From Historical Hastings
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:MultiReplace. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on [ many pages]. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to it should first be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in a single edit. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
Replaces matches of multiple patterns in a given string with given replacements. For each replacement instance, the pattern matching at the lowest position is chosen. If there are multiple such patterns, then the one specified earliest in the pattern list is chosen.
Usage[edit]
{{MultiReplace|input|plain=yes (optional)|pattern1|replacement1|pattern2|replacement2...}}
If plain=yes is specified, then the patterns and replacements are treated as plain text, otherwise as Lua Unicode patterns.
