Template:Valid/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:13, 10 January 2011

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Valid (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Purpose[edit source]

Determines whether something is valid in a certain context. Currently only implemented for determining if a number is within the precision that wikipedia expressions can handle.

Returns[edit source]

true if the argument is valid, false if it is not.

Examples[edit source]

{{valid|number=A}} = false (not a number)

{{valid|number=1234}} = true

{{valid|number=+1234}} = true

{{valid|number=-1234}} = true

{{valid|number=(1234)}} = false (one pair of parenthesis is allowed)

{{valid|number=--1234}} = false (incorrect sign use)

{{valid|number=1234567890}} = true

{{valid|number=12345678901234567890}} = false (too large)

{{valid|number=1.234567890}} = true

{{valid|number=1.2345678901234567890}} = false (too many decimals)
