User:Mandarax/DYKHookShow

This auxiliary template takes a DYK hook (which may be blank) as a parameter. If it is of sufficient length (to prevent dummy hooks such as "... that ...?"), it is displayed, and its length is calculated and displayed. The ellipsis and the space following it are not counted, nor is (pictured), but any additional text is counted, so for (example pictured), the 8 characters of "example " are counted.
