Template:Loop/doc

{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}} This template is used to produce a simple loop. It is based on Module:String, and there is no limit to the number of iterations it can perform.

Usage

{{loop|times to repeat|string}}

If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".

Examples

• {{loop|4|n}}

{{#invoke

String|rep|1=n|2=4}}

• {{loop|25|test}}

{{#invoke

String|rep|1=test|2=25}}

• {{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{=}}.

• {{loop|9|2==}}

{{#invoke

String|rep|1==|2=9}}

or:

• {{loop|9|{{=}}}}

{{#invoke

String|rep|1==|2=9}}

• {{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

{{#invoke

String|rep|1=2024|2=3}}

* If string contains an equals sign, you must put '|2=string' instead of '|string'.
