--[==[ intro:
The purpose of this module is to facilitate implementation of a template that takes a list of items with associated
properties, which can be specified either through separate parameters (e.g. {{para|t2}}, {{para|pos3}}) or inline
modifiers (`<t:...>`, `<pos:...>`, etc.). Some examples of templates that work this way are {{tl|alter}}/{{tl|alt}};
{{tl|synonyms}}/{{tl|syn}}, {{tl|antonyms}}/{{tl|ant}}, and other "nyms" templates; {{tl|col}}, {{tl|col2}},
{{tl|col3}}, {{tl|col4}} and other columns templates; {{tl|descendant}}/{{tl|desc}}; {{tl|affix}}/{{tl|af}},
{{tl|prefix}}/{{tl|pre}} and related *fix templates; {{tl|affixusex}}/{{tl|afex}} and related templates; {{tl|IPA}};
{{tl|homophones}}; {{tl|rhymes}}; and several others. This module can be thought of as a combination of
[[Module:parameters]] (which parses template parameters, and in particular handles the separate parameter versions of
the properties) and `parse_inline_modifiers()` in [[Module:parse utilities]] (which parses inline modifiers).
The main entry point is `process_list_arguments()`, which takes an object specifying various properties and returns a
list of objects, one per item specified by the user, where the individual objects are much like the objects returned by
`parse_inline_modifiers()`. However, there are other functions provided, in particular to initialize the `param_mods`
structured that is passed to `process_list_arguments()`.
The typical workflow for using this module looks as follows (a slightly simplified version of the code in
[[Module:nyms]]):
{
local export = {}
local parameter_utilities_module = "Module:parameter utilities"
...
-- Entry point to be invoked from a template.
function export.show(frame)
local parent_args = frame:getParent().args
-- Parameters that don't have corresponding inline modifiers. Note in particular that the parameter corresponding to
-- the items themselves must be specified this way, and must specify either `allow_holes = true` (if the user can
-- omit terms, typically by specifying the term using |altN= or <alt:...> so that they remain unlinked) or
-- `disallow_holes = true` (if omitting terms is not allowed). (If neither `allow_holes` nor `disallow_holes` is
-- specified, an error is thrown in process_list_arguments().)
local params = {
[1] = {required = true, type = "language", default = "und"},
[2] = {list = true, allow_holes = true, required = true, default = "term"},
}
local m_param_utils = require(parameter_utilities_module)
-- This constructs the `param_mods` structure by adding well-known groups of parameters (such as all the parameters
-- associated with based on full_link() in [[Module:links]], with default properties that can be overridden. This is
-- easier and less error-prone than manually specifying the `param_mods` structure (see below for how this would
-- look). Here, we specify the group "link" (consisting of all the link parameters for use with full_link()), group
-- "ref" (which adds the "ref" parameter for specifying references), group "l" (which adds the "l" and "ll"
-- parameters for specifying labels) and group "q" (which adds the "q" and "qq" parameters for specifying regular
-- qualifiers). By default, labels and qualifiers have `separate_no_index` set so that e.g. |q1= is distinct from
-- |q=, the former specifying the left qualifier for the first item and the latter specifying the overall left
-- qualifier. For compatibility, we override the `separate_no_index` setting for the group "q", which causes |q= and
-- |q1= to be the same, and likewise for |qq= and |qq1=. Finally, also for compatibility, we add an "lb" parameter
-- that is an alias of "ll" (in all respects; |lb= is the same as |ll=, |lb1= is the same as |ll1=, <lb:...> is the
-- same as <ll:...>, etc.).
local param_mods = m_param_utils.construct_param_mods {
{group = {"link", "ref", "l"}},
{group = "q", separate_no_index = false},
{param = "lb", alias_of = "ll"},
}
-- This processes the raw arguments in `parent_args`, parses inline modifiers and creates corresponding objects
-- containing the property values specified either through inline modifiers or separate parameters.
local items, args = m_param_utils.process_list_arguments {
params = params,
param_mods = param_mods,
raw_args = parent_args,
termarg = 2,
parse_lang_prefix = true,
track_module = "nyms",
lang = 1,
sc = "sc.default",
}
local lang = args[1]
-- Now do the actual implementation of the template. Generally this should be split into a separate function, often
-- in a separate module (if the implementation goes in [[Module:foo]], the template interface code goes in
-- [[Module:foo/templates]]).
...
}
The `param_mods` structure controls the properties that can be specified by the user for a given item, and is
conceptually very similar to the `param_mods` structure used by `parse_inline_modifiers()`. The key is the name of the
parameter (e.g. {"t"}, {"pos"}) and the value is a table with optional elements as follows:
* `item_dest`, `store`: Same as the corresponding fields in the `param_mods` structure passed to
`parse_inline_modifiers()`.
* `type`, `set`, `sublist`, `convert` and associated fields such as `family` and `method`: These control parsing and
conversion of the raw values specified by the user and have the same meaning as in [[Module:parameters]] and also in
`parse_inline_modifiers()` (which delegates the actual conversion to [[Module:parameters]]). These fields — and for
that matter, all fields other than `item_dest`, `store` and `overall` — are forwarded to the `process()` function in
[[Module:parameters]].
* `alias_of`: This parameter is an alias of some other parameter. This spec is recognized only by `process()` in
[[Module:parameters]], and not by `parse_inline_modifiers()`; to set up an alias in `parse_inline_modifiers()`, you
need to make sure (using `item_dest`) that both the alias and aliasee modifiers store their values in the same
location, and you need to copy the remaining properties from the aliasee's spec to the aliasing modifier's spec. All
of this happens automatically if you generate the `param_mods` structure using `construct_param_mods()`.
* `require_index`: This means that the non-indexed parameter version of the property is not recognized. E.g. in the
case of the {"sc"} property, use of the {{para|sc}} parameter would result in an error, while {{para|sc1}} is
recognized and specifies the {"sc"} property for the first item. The default, if neither `require_index` nor
`separate_no_index` is given, is for {{para|sc}} and {{para|sc1}} to mean the same thing (both would specify the
{"sc"} property of the first item). Note that `require_index` and `separate_no_index` are mutually exclusive, and if
either one is specified during processing by `construct_param_mods()`, the other one is automaticallly turned off.
* `separate_no_index`: This means that e.g. the {{para|sc}} parameter is distinct from the {{para|sc1}} parameter
(and thus from the `<sc:...>` inline modifier on the first item). This is typically used to distinguish an overall
version of a property from the corresponding item-specific property on the first item. (In this case, for example,
{{para|sc}} overrides the script code for all items, while {{para|sc1}} overrides the script code only for the
first item.) If not given, and if `require_index` is not given, {{para|sc}} and {{para|sc1}} would have the same
meaning and refer to the item-specific property on the first item. When this is given, the overall value can be
accessed using the `.default` field of the property value in `args`, e.g. in this case `args.sc.default`. Note that
(as mentioned above) `require_index` and `separate_no_index` are mutually exclusive, and if either one is specified
during processing by `construct_param_mods()`, the other one is automaticallly turned off.
* `list`, `allow_holes`, `disallow_holes`: These should '''not''' be given. `list` and `allow_holes` are automatically
set for all parameter specs added to the `params` structure used by `process()` in [[Module:parameters]], and
`disallow_holes` clashes with `allow_holes`.
For the above workflow example, the call to `construct_param_mods()` generates the following `param_mods` structure:
{
local param_mods = {
-- the parameters generated by group "link"
alt = {},
t = {
-- [[Module:links]] expects the gloss in "gloss".

-- (specifying `separate_no_index = false` in the `param_mods` structure is equivalent to not specifying it at all)

type = "qualifier",
separate_no_index = false,
},
qq = {
type = "qualifier",
separate_no_index = false,
},
-- the parameter generated by the individual "lb" parameter spec; note that only `alias_of` was explicitly given,
-- while `item_dest` is automatically set so that inline modifier <lb:...> stores into the same place as <ll:...>,
-- and the other specs are copied from the `ll` spec so `lb` works like `ll` in all regards

--[==[
Construct the `param_mods` structure used in parsing arguments and inline modifiers from a list of specifications.
A sample invocation (a slightly simplified version of the actual invocation associated with {{tl|affix}} and related
templates) looks like this:
{
local param_mods = require("Module:parameter utilities").construct_param_mods {
-- We want to require an index for all params (or use separate_no_index, which also requires an index for the
-- param corresponding to the first item).
{default = true, require_index = true},
{group = {"link", "ref", "lang", "q", "l"}},
-- Override these two to have separate_no_index.
{param = {"lit", "pos"}, separate_no_index = true},
}
}
Each specification either sets the default value for further parameter specs or adds one or more parameters. Parameters
can be added directly using `param`, or groups of predefined parameters can be added using `group`. Specifications are
one of three types:
# Those that set the default properties for future-added parameters. These contain {default = true} as one of the
properties of the spec. Specs are processed in order and you can change the defaults mid-way through.
# Those that add the parameters associated with one or more pre-defined groups. These contain {group = "group"} or
{group = {"group1", "group2", ...}}. The pre-defined parameter groups and their associated properties are listed
below. The pre-defined properties of parameters in a group override properties associated with a {default = true}
spec, and are in turn overridden by any properties given directly in the spec itself. Note as well that setting the
`separate_no_index` property will automatically cause the `require_index` property to be unset and vice-versa, as the
two are mutually exclusive. (This happens in the example above, where the {separate_no_index = true} setting
associated with the params {"lit"} and {"pos"} cancels out the {require_index = true} default setting, as well as less
obviously with the pre-defined {"sc"} property of the {"link"} group, the {"q"} and {"qq"} properties of the {"q"}
group, and the {"l"} and {"ll"} properties of the {"l"} group, all of which have an associated pre-defined property
{separate_no_index = true}, which overrides and cancels out the {require_index = true} default setting. Finally, when
adding the parameters of a group, you can request the only a subset of the parameters be added using either the
`include` or `exclude` properties, each of whose values is a list of parameters that specify (respectively) the
parameters to include (all other parameters of the group are excluded) or to exclude (all other parameters of the
group are included). This is used, for example, in [[Module:romance etymology]] and [[Module:it-etymology]], which
specify {group = "link", exclude = {"tr", "ts", "sc"}} to exclude link parameters that aren't relevant to Latin-script
languages such as the Romance languages, and conversely in [[Module:IPA/templates]], which specifies
{group = "link", include = {"t", "gloss", "pos"}} to include only the specified parameters for use with {{tl|IPA}}.
# Those that add individual parameters. These contain {param = "param"} or {param = {"param1", "param2", ...}}, the
latter syntax used to control a set of parameters together. The resulting spec is formed by initializing the
parameter's settings with any previously-specified default properties (using a spec containing {default = true}) if
the parameter hasn't already been initialized, and then overriding the resulting settings with any settings given
directly in the specification. In the above example, the {"lit"} and {"pos"} parameters were previously initialized
through the {"link"} group (specified in the second of the three specifications) but ended up with
{require_index = true} due to the {default = true} spec (the first of the three specifications). We override these
two parameters to have {separate_no_index = true} (which, as mentioned above, cancels out {require_index = true}).
This is done so that {{tl|affix}} and related templates have {{para|pos}} and {{para|lit}} parameters distinct from
{{para|pos1}} and {{para|lit1}}, which are used to specify an overall part of speech (which applies to all parts of
the affix, as opposed to applying to just one element of the expression) or a literal definition for the entire
expression (instead of just for one element of the expression).

* `processed_args`: The object of parsed arguments returned by `process()` in [[Module:parameters]]. One (but not both)
of `raw_args` and `processed_args` must be set.
* `param_mods` ('''required'''): A structure describing the possible inline modifiers and their properties. See the
introductory comment above. Most often, this is generated using `construct_param_mods()` rather than specified
manually.
* `params` ('''required''' unless `processed_args` is specified): A structure describing the possible parameters,
'''other than''' the ones that are separate-parameter equivalents of inline modifiers. This is automatically
"augmented" with the separate-parameter equivalents of the inline modifiers described in `param_mods` prior to parsing
the raw arguments with [[Module:parameters]]. '''WARNING:''' This structure is destructively modified, both by the
"augmentation" process of adding separate-parameter equivalents of inline modifiers, and by the processing done by
[[Module:parameters]] itself. (Nonetheless, substructures can safely be shared in this structure, and will be
correctly handled.)
* `termarg` ('''required'''): The argument containing the first item with attached inline modifiers to be parsed.
Usually a numeric value such as {1} or {2}.
* `track_module` ('''recommended'''): The name of the calling module, for use in adding tracking pages that are used
internally to track pages containing template invocations with certain properties. Example properties tracked are
missing items with corresponding properties as well as missing items without corresponding properties (which are
skipped entirely). To find out the exact properties tracked and the name of the tracking pages, read the code.
* `process_args_before_parsing`: An optional function to apply further processing to the processed `args` structure
returned by [[Module:parameters]], before parsing inline modifiers. This is passed one argument, the processed
arguments. It should make modifications in-place.
* `term_dest`: The field to store the value of the item itself into, after inline modifiers and (if allowed) language
prefixes are stripped off. Defaults to {"term"}.
* `parse_lang_prefix`: If true, allow and parse off a language code prefix attached to items followed by a colon, such
as {la:minūtia} or {grc:[[σκῶρ|σκατός]]}. Etymology-only languages are allowed. Inline modifiers can be attached to
such items. The exact syntax allowed is as specified in the `parse_term_with_lang()` function in
[[Module:parse utilities]]. If `allow_multiple_lang_prefixes` is given, a comma-separated list of language prefixes
can be attached to an item. The resulting language object is stored into the `termlang` field, and also into the
`lang` field (or in the case of `allow_multiple_lang_prefixes`, the list of language objects is stored into the
`termlangs` field, and the first specified object is stored in the `lang` field).
* `allow_multiple_lang_prefixes`: If given in conjunction with `parse_lang_prefix`, multiple comma-separated language
code prefixes can be given. See `parse_lang_prefix` above.
* `allow_bad_lang_prefixes`: If given in conjunction with `parse_lang_prefix`, unrecognized language prefixes do not
trigger an error, but are simply ignored (and not stripped off the item). Note that, regardless of whether this is
given, prefixes before a colon do not trigger an error if they do not have the form of a language prefix or if a space
follows the colon. It is not recommended that this be given because typos in language prefixes will not trigger an
error and will tend to remain unfixed.
* `lang`: The language object for the language of the items, or the name of the argument to fetch the object from. In
general it is not necessary to specify this as `process_list_arguments()` only initializes items based on inline
modifiers and separate arguments and doesn't actually format the resulting items. However, if specified, it is used
for certain purposes:
*# It specifies the default for the `lang` property of returned objects if not otherwise set (e.g. by a language
prefix).
*# It is used to initialize an internal cache for speeding up language-code parsing (primarily useful if the same
language code may appear in several items, such as with {{tl|col}} and related templates).
The value of `lang` can be any of the following:
* If a string of the form "foo.default", it is assumed to be requesting the value of `args["foo"].default`.
* Otherwise, if a string or number, it is assumed to be requesting the value of `args` at that key. Note that if the
string is in the form of a number (e.g. "3"), it is normalized to a number prior to fetching (this also happens with
a spec like "2.default").
* Otherwise, if a function, it is assumed to be a function to return the argument value given `args`, which is passed
to the function as its only argument.
* Otherwise, it is used directly.
* `sc`: The script object for the items, or the name of the argument to fetch the object from. The possible values and
their handling are the same as with `lang`. In general, as with `lang`, it is not necessary to specify this. However,
if specified, it is used to supply the default for the `sc` property of returned items if not otherwise set (e.g. by
the {{para|sc<var>N</var>}} parameter or `<sc:...>` inline modifier).
* `disallow_custom_separators`: If specified, disallow specifying custom separators (semicolon, underscore, tilde; see
the internal `special_separators` table) as an item value to override the default separator. By default, the previous
separator of each item is considered to be an empty string (for the first item) and otherwise the value of
`default_separator` (normally a comma + space), unless either the preceding item is one of the values listed in
`special_separators`, such as a bare semicolon (which causes the following item's previous separator to be a semicolon
+ space) or an item has an embedded comma in it (which causes ''all'' items other than the first to have their
previous separator be a semicolon + space). The previous separator of each item is set on the item's `separator`
property. Bare semicolons and other separator arguments do not count when indexing items using separate parameters.
For example, the following is correct:
** {{tl|template|lang|item 1|q1=qualifier 1|;|item 2|q2=qualifier 2}}
If `disallow_custom_separators` is specified, however, the `separator` property is not set and separator arguments are
not recognized.
* `default_separator`: Override the default separator (normally {", "}).
* `dont_skip_items`: Normally, items that are completely unspecified (have no term and no properties) are skipped and
not inserted into the returned list of items. (Such items cannot occur if `disallow_holes = true` is set on the term
specification in the `params` structure passed to `process()` in [[Module:parameters]]. It is generally recommended
to do so unless a specific meaning is associated the term value being missing.) If `dont_skip_items` is set, however,
items are never skipped, and completely unspecified items will be returned along with others. (They will not have
the term or any properties set, but will have the normal non-property fields set; see below.)
* `stop_when`: If specified, a function to determine when to prematurely stop processing items. It is passed a single
argument, an object containing the following fields:
** `term`: The raw term, prior to parsing off language prefixes and inline modifiers (since the processing of
`stop_when` happens before parsing the term).
** `any_param_at_index`: True if any separate property parameters exist for this item.
** `orig_index`: Same as `orig_index` below.
** `itemno`: Same as `itemno` below.
** `stored_itemno`: The index where this item will be stored into the returned items table. This may differ from
`itemno` due to skipped items (it will never be different if `dont_skip_items` is set).
The function should return true to stop processing items and return the ones processed so far (not including the item
currently being processed). This is used, for example, in [[Module:alternative forms]], where an unspecified item
signal the end of items and the start of labels.
Two values are returned, the list of items and the processed `args` structure. In each returned item, there will be one
field set for each specified property (either through inline modifiers or separate parameters). In addition, the
following fields may be set:
* `term`: The term portion of the item (minus inline modifiers and language prefixes). {nil} if no term was given.
* `orig_index`: The original index into the item in the items table returned by `process()` in [[Module:parameters]].
This may differ from `itemno` if there are raw semiclons and `disallow_custom_separators` is not given.
* `itemno`: The logical index of the item. The index of separate parameters corresponds to this index. This may be
different from `orig_index` in the presence of raw semicolons; see above.
* `separator`: The separator to display before the term. Always set unless `disallow_custom_separators` is given, in
which case it is not set.
* `termlang`: If there is a language prefix, the corresponding language object is stored here (only if
`parse_lang_prefix` is set and `allow_multiple_lang_prefixes` is not set).
* `termlangs`: If there is are language prefixes and both `parse_lang_prefix` and `allow_multiple_lang_prefixes` are
set, the list of corresponding language objects is stored here.
* `lang`: The language object of the item. This is set when either (a) there is a language prefix parsed off (if
multiple prefixes are allowed, this corresponds to the first one); (b) the `lang` property is allowed and specified;
(c) neither (a) nor (b) apply and the `lang` field of the overall `data` object is set, providing a default value.
* `sc`: The script object of the item. This is set when either (a) the `sc` property is allowed and specified; (b)
`sc` isn't otherwise set and the `sc` field of the overall `data` object is set, providing a default value.
