Module talk:Headword

Line 162

Revision https://cd.100ke.info/w/index.php?title=Module:Headword&diff=5857604&oldid=5848702 added "-{" and "}-" around the head string in line 162. Even though these strings don't appear on the webpage but they do appear in the expended Template text in the https://github.com/tatuylonen/wikitextprocessor tool. I don't have the permission to edit this page, I hope someone could edit this line and remove the "-{" and "}-". Public class（留言） 2022年9月20日 (二) 01:32 (UTC)

Hello, @Public class：, "-{" and "}-" are necessary as we need them to suppress the MediaWiki's built-in simplified-traditional Chinese conversion so that the headlines stay intact. For example, without them text "Adam’s apple" would be incorrectly converted to "Adam』s apple" when using the traditional variant of Chinese in some cases, among many other unexpected incorrect outcomes. "-{" and "}-" could be easily removed using the following code in Python.

name = "-{good}-"
myRe = re.compile(r"-\{(.*)\}-")
name = re.findall(myRe, name)[0]

or maybe even

name = "-{good}-"
name = name.replace("-{", "").replace("}-", "")

Dang, I thought it was a mistake since I didn't find this syntax in the wikitext help page. Thanks for your help! Public class（留言） 2022年9月20日 (二) 03:40 (UTC)
