      <comment>/* Using arguments */ The parameter table, `local tablePrm`, defines each named argument, such as `lat_deg=&quot;5.55&quot;`. The coordinate value `5.55` is passed as a string. Note the underscore (`_`) in the argument name `lat_deg`. If the name contains a space, use bracket notation instead: `[lat deg]=&quot;5.55&quot;`.</comment>

MODULE &quot;UTF8DEBUG&quot; (debug UTF8 text)

&quot;eo.wiktionary.org/wiki/Modulo:utf8debug&quot; &lt;!--2025-Aug-27--&gt;
&quot;id.wiktionary.org/wiki/Modul:utf8debug&quot;
&quot;sv.wiktionary.org/wiki/Modul:utf8debug&quot;
&quot;eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo:Utf8debug&quot;
&quot;id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modul:Utf8debug&quot;

Purpose: allows to debug an incoming UTF8 string (either directly submitted
         or generated by a template) by splitting it into isolated chars,
         checking validity of the UTF8 stream and displaying chars and codes,
         or by performing a &quot;hard nowiki&quot; and displaying complete text
         including spaces and line breaks

Utilo: ebligas sencimigi enirantan UTF8-signocxenon (aux rekte enigitan
       aux generitan far sxablono) per dispecigo farigxante apartaj signoj,
       kontrolante validecon de la UTF8-vico kaj montrante signojn kaj kodojn,
       aux per efektivigo de &quot;hard nowiki&quot; kaj montrado de kompleta teksto
       inkluzive spacojn kaj liniorompojn

Manfaat: memungkinkan ...

Syfte: moejliggoer att debugga en inkommande UTF8 straeng (antingen direkt
       oeverlaemnad eller genererad av en mall ...

Used by templates / Uzata far sxablonoj /
Digunakan oleh templat / Anvaend av mallar:
* only &quot;debu&quot; (not to be called from any other place, to be
  used only for debugging, see below)

Required submodules / Bezonataj submoduloj:
* none / neniuj

Required images:
* &quot;File:Return arrow.svg&quot;, Public Domain

This module can accept parameters whether sent to itself (own frame) or
to the parent (parent's frame). If there is a parameter &quot;parentframe=true&quot;
on the own frame then that own frame is discarded in favor of the
parent's one.

Incoming: * one anonymous and obligatory parameter
            * input string (empty is legal but not very useful, missing
              ie &quot;nil&quot; same as empty, 64 KiO max, BEWARE of the equal
              sign &quot;=&quot; that must be encoded as {{=}} in order to prevent
              misinterpretation by the wiki parser)
          * two named and optional parameters
            * &quot;outctl=&quot; output type selection control string (4 digits,
              boolean or fourstate)
              * show octet bloat (&quot;0&quot; or &quot;1&quot;)
              * show big boxes for single char:s (&quot;0&quot; or &quot;1&quot;)
              * show hard nowiki (&quot;0&quot; or &quot;1&quot; (no color) or &quot;2&quot; (colored)
                or 3 (colored and split UTF8))
              * show UTF8 char bloat (&quot;0&quot; or &quot;1&quot;)
              default is &quot;1101&quot;, &quot;0000&quot; is prohibited, &quot;nw&quot; is synonymous
              with &quot;0010&quot;, empty input switches the type to &quot;1000&quot;
              unless &quot;empsil=1&quot;
            * &quot;empsil=1&quot; to switch on empty input from default big red
              box to empty string too

Returned: * large text with complicated wikicode, empty possible

This module is unbreakable (when called with correct module name
and function name).

Cxi tiu modulo estas nerompebla (kiam vokita kun gxustaj nomo de modulo
kaj nomo de funkcio).

This module is special in that it can seem unused and useless. Do not
delete it just because no pages transclude it. Its purpose is not to be used
in article, lemma, appendix or whatever pages. It is intended to be used
temporarily when debugging UTF8 text, preferably from the sandbox. With the
option &quot;hard nowiki&quot; this module can even be used for documentation
and selftest of modules and templates, then &quot;debu&quot; can be classed as
a documentation template. Still the modules and templates &quot;pate&quot; and
&quot;unittester&quot; are a better choice for this purpose.

Note that &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;&quot; does NOT work in wikitext generated by a module. We
must dec-encode instead. This works for the commmon problem char:s &quot;:#*='[]&quot;
(there is no problem with curly &quot;{}&quot;). But dec-encoding does NOT work for UTF8
multi-octet char:s. So we dec-encode only some ASCII char:s $00...$7F
and leave the remaining ones pass unchanged (both for big boxes mode and hard
nowiki mode). Note that dec-encoding does NOT work for LF either. We catch LF
separately in any case, and in the big boxes mode we show its name &quot;LF&quot;,
whereas in the hard nowiki mode we show an arrow as image.

In text coming from a module some evil stuff (invalid UTF8 sequence, ZERO,
FF/12, ZWSP, LRM, RLM) is replaced with U+$FFFD by MediaWiki, whereas
other dubious content (TAB, CR, NBSP, BOM) survives. Also handling of DEL
code 127 by MediaWiki is inconsistent, may show &quot;&amp;#127;&quot; literally or not.

Color coding of the result in the big boxes mode:

W  white         ordinary ASCII char
F  light grey    valid 2-octet UTF8 with some exceptions
G  grey          valid 3-octet UTF8 with some exceptions
H  dark grey     valid 4-octet UTF8 (with no exceptions yet)
R  red           code ZERO or invalid UTF8 sequence (plus empty input
                 not limited to the big boxes mode)
Y  yellow        dubious TAB CR DEL NBSP ZWSP LRM RLM BOM
L  light yellow  invisible LF SPACE
B  light blue    initial octet bloat report (blue except on empty
                 input) and final UTF8 bloat report

Error &lt;&lt;FATAL in &quot;Module:utf8debug&quot; : internal error or invalid
parameter&gt;&gt; is NOT included in the above list, possible causes:
* internal error
* input string too long
* extraneous anonymous parameter
* parameter &quot;outctl=&quot; or &quot;empsil=&quot; bad
