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.

--[[
	This function converts an integer value into a numeral followed by ordinal indicator.
	The output string might contain HTML tags.

	Usage:
	{{#invoke:Ordinal|ordinal|1=|2=}}
	{{#invoke:Ordinal|ordinal}} - uses the caller's parameters

	Parameters
	    1: Any number or string.
	    2: Set to "d" if the module should display "d" instead of "nd" and "rd".
