Module:Cartesian with comma/doc

This is the documentation page for Module:Cartesian with comma

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Cartesian with comma.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This module computes and returns the cartesian product of multiple input sets (i.e., lists of strings), and then formats and combines the results into a single output string. Because this module was original developed to deal with locations, if a value in the first set contains a comma, a comma will be added to the end of that value before it is combined with a value from the second set.

Example

It is called by {{Combine categories}} to create category names from a list of locations and a list of topics.

{{#invoke:Cartesian categories|combine
    | {{{location}}}
    | {{lc:{{{locality_subjects}}}}}
    | format = [[Category:%s %s]]
}}

Input:

{{Combine categories
|location=Bucks County, Pennsylvania;Chester County, Pennsylvania;Pennsylvania
|locality_subjects=Court records;Probate records;Vital records
}}

Output:

[[Category:Pennsylvania court records]]
[[Category:Pennsylvania probate records]]
[[Category:Pennsylvania vital records]]
[[Category:Bucks County, Pennsylvania, court records]]
[[Category:Bucks County, Pennsylvania, probate records]]
[[Category:Bucks County, Pennsylvania, vital records]]
[[Category:Chester County, Pennsylvania, court records]]
[[Category:Chester County, Pennsylvania, probate records]]
[[Category:Chester County, Pennsylvania, vital records]]
