The NumerAlpha extension adds methods of inserting incrementing numbers, letters, and roman numerals into pages. You can reset the count at any moment or begin to a specified number.
First this extension was to supplement the Page Forms extension allowing to add a numbered table when you use the multiple option but you can also use it in templates by utilizing either the {{#tag: in |}}
magic word or the {{#counter:}}
parser function after v0.6.0 of this extension.
Usage
[edit]There are three forms:
- a zero(s) padded number. (you can configure in the source code the length of your zero padded number. (0 = no zero padding)
- Roman numeral (i, ii, iii, iv, etc.)
- alphabetic (a,b,...,z,aa,ab,...,zz,...)
Tags
[edit]- <in />
- <ir />
- <ia />
all of them in combination with reset=1 or begin=1
See examples.
Parser function
[edit]{{#counter: Counter name | type = Counter type | set = Number }}
Available counter types are "numeral", "alpha" and "roman".
Examples
[edit]Tags
[edit]- Example 1
You can reset it using the parameter reset, and restart the count with the parameter begin
<ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir reset=1 /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir /> <ia /> <ia /> <ia /> <ir begin=10 /> <ir /> <ir /> <ir />
That will be render like
i ii iii iv v vi vii viii ix
i ii iii iv v
a b c
x xi xii xiii
So it's easy to list the alphabet:
<ia reset=1 /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia /><ia />
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
- Example 2
<ia>hello</ia> <ia>world</ia> <ia reset=1>goodbye</ia> <ia>world</ia> <ia begin=11>jupiter</ia> <ia>jazz</ia>
<in>hello</in> <in>world</in> <in reset=1>goodbye</in> <in>world</in> <in begin=11>jupiter</in> <in>jazz</in>
<ir>hello</ir> <ir>world</ir> <ir reset=1>goodbye</ir> <ir>world</ir> <ir begin=11>jupiter</ir> <ir>jazz</ir>
Parser function
[edit]- Wikitext (since version 0.6.0)
{{#counter: ExampleCounter |type=numeral |set=9 }}
{{#counter: ExampleCounter }}
{{#counter: ExampleCounter }}
- Result
9
10
11
|type=numeral
and |set=1
to the first call to the "counter" parser function of the page. If you do not do this the "counter" parser function will increment its number throughout the pages of whole wiki using it. - Wikitext (since version 0.7.0)
{{#counter: list-with-levels |level prefix=: }} Start lev 1
{{#counter: }} Stay lev 1
{{#counter: |level=2 }} Jump to lev 2
{{#counter: }} Stay lev 2
{{#counter: |level=1 }} Drop to lev 1
{{#counter: |level=2 }} back to lev 2
{{#counter: |level=3 }} jump to lev 3
- Result
- 1
- 2
- 1
- 2
- 1
- 3
- 1
- 1
- 1
This allows you to have hierarchical lists. Furthermore, if you add "format=outline" to the first #counter you can get output like:
- 1
- 2
- 2.1
- 2.2
- 2.1
- 3
- 3.1
- 3.1.1
- 3.1.1
- 3.1
