Module:Ordinal

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module may be invoked by templates using its corresponding template Template:Ordinal, or used directly from other modules.

This module automatically determines the ordinal of a given number (i.e. 1 → first, 2 → second, 3 → third, etc.).

On templates, you can use {{Ordinal}}.

On modules, you can include local ordinal= require("Module:Ordinal")._ordinal.
