Well done. I had a look at your template code, and it's beyond me!


 * It's actually remarkably simple. You just replace any instance of a piece of data with either a variable, or the result of another template being fed the appropriate variables. So the first unnamed variable - - is simply displayed in upper case  for the third column, but is ran through a hex to decimal template  for the second column. For the second character, you do the same with  . The complexity is really just a function of what you want to do with your inputs. I manage to run the Unicode code point inputs through the template  for both decimal and hex output. Basically, that's everything, with a bit of arcana, like you can't directly use pipe characters "|" inside of #if: conditions, so you use . VanIsaacWScontribs 01:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

You have a bug somewhere that's including extra spaces and throwing things out. You didn't use the same template call layout in your demonstration as in your documentation! Compare the following:


 * template call formatted as actually used in the documentation


 * template call formatted as shown in the documentation

wrong: character display, decimal Unicode value, UTF-8 strings


 * After fixing the space bug, compare this with Yer


 * Some suggestions for improvement
 * I would prefer capital hex letters in the numeric character references
 * I would like to see the named character references centred in the spanned column

Thanks for the hard work.
 * You're welcome. If you sign off on it, I'll move it to the template namespace. VanIsaacWScontribs 01:02, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
