Module:Sortkey/sandbox

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

This module sanitizes and escapes sortkeys so that they can be used inside the data-sort-value attribute of HTML tags in combination with table sorting. Use it when you cannot be certain that the provided sortkey input is a correct sortkey.

Usage

{{#invoke:Sortkey|escape|sortkey to sanitize}}
