Description[edit]

The template calls a specified template up to 3 times, where one parameter takes each of a list of values; surplus values are ignored; in addition to the variable parameter, for up to 4 parameters a fixed value can be specified.

Usage[edit]

{{fors
  |call=template to call
  |sep=what to separate the entries with
  |pc1=parameter name=constant value
  |pc2=parameter name=constant value
  |pc3=parameter name=constant value
  |pc4=parameter name=constant value
  |pv=name of variable parameter
  |list of up to 150 parameter values, with separator "|"
}}

Examples[edit]

{{fors|sep=,|call=x3|1=a=b|2=c=d|3=e}} gives a=ba=ba=b,c=dc=dc=d,eee

Note that the last part of the separator is used as a prefix; the first prefix needs to be put separately.

{{fors|a|3||c|call=x3|sep=-}} using Template:X3 gives

aaa-333-

{{fors|p|||3||c|call=t|sep=///}} using Template:T gives

start-p-end///start--end///start--end

{{fors|call=short DOW|3|1|5|3|2|sep= / }} using Template:Short DOW gives

Wed / Mon / Fri

{{fors|call=t2|pc1=2=constant|abc|def|ghi}} using Template:T2 gives:

Parameter 1 is "abc", parameter 2 is "="Parameter 1 is "def", parameter 2 is "="Parameter 1 is "ghi", parameter 2 is "="

A constant parameter is ignored if it is the same as the (implicitly or explicitly given) variable parameter:

{{fors|call=t2|pc1=1=7|pc2=2=5|abc|def|ghi|sep=,}} using Template:T2 gives:

Parameter 1 is "abc", parameter 2 is "2=5",Parameter 1 is "def", parameter 2 is "2=5",Parameter 1 is "ghi", parameter 2 is "2=5"

Semi-recursive: see Template talk:Foreach/recursion

A reserved name that cannot be used as list item is "@"; it is ignored, but e.g. @1 is not:

{{for|a|@|@1|b|c|call=x3|sep=-}} gives

@@@a@1@1@1abbbaccc
