This module provides functions for parsing and finding template invocations found in wikitext.

parseTemplate(text, not_transcluded)

Parses text as a template invocation and returns a pair of values, the template name and the arguments (containing anonymous, numbered and named arguments). If the text could not be parsed as a template invocation, the function returns nil. The parser will correctly parse any wikitext given as template arguments (such as subtemplates, arguments, tables etc), but if the string does not form a valid template in markup, then it will return nil.

findTemplates(text, not_transcluded)

Finds all template invocations in the text. This is designed to be used as an iterator in for statements, and returns four values for each invocation:

1. The template name.
2. The template arguments.
3. The full template invocation as it appears in the original text.
4. The index the template appears at within the given text; as with Lua in general, the beginning of the text is index 1.

For convenience, template names will be normalized in two ways:

1. They are preprocessed, which means that any templates ({{ }}) and parameters ({{{ }}}) they contain will be resolved.
2. Any redirects will be converted to their canonical equivalents (e.g. {{l}} is treated as {{link}}).

Note that any templates with invalid names (after preprocessing) will be skipped over. For performance reasons, preprocessing is only applied to the keys in a template's table of arguments, so it should be applied (selectively) to the values by the calling module when needed.

Note that the parser will respect <noinclude>, <includeonly> and <onlyinclude> tags. By default, text is treated as though it has been transcluded, which means that text between <noinclude> tags will be ignored, and <onlyinclude> tags will be respected if present. If the parameter not_transcluded is set to true, then text will be treated as though it has not been transcluded, which means text between <includeonly> tags will be ignored instead.

Although the parser is very accurate, some discrepancies may still exist between it and the native parser in certain cases.

--[[
NOTE: This module works by using recursive backtracking to build a node tree, which can then be traversed as necessary.

Because it is called by a number of high-use modules, it has been optimised for speed using a profiler, since it is used to scrape data from large numbers of pages very quickly. To that end, it rolls some of its own methods in cases where this is faster than using a function from one of the standard libraries. Please DO NOT "simplify" the code by removing these, since you are almost guaranteed to slow things down, which could seriously impact performance on pages which call this module hundreds or thousands of times.

It has also been designed to emulate the native parser's behaviour as much as possible, which in some cases means replicating bugs or unintuitive behaviours in that code; these should not be "fixed", since it is important that the outputs are the same. Most of these originate from deficient regular expressions, which can't be used here, so the bugs have to be manually reintroduced as special cases (e.g. onlyinclude tags being case-sensitive and whitespace intolerant, unlike all other tags). If any of these are fixed, this module should also be updated accordingly.

-- Block handlers
--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Block handlers.

-- These are blocks which can affect template/parameter parsing, since they're also parsed by Parsoid at the same time (even though they aren't processed until later).

-- All blocks (including templates/parameters) can nest inside each other, but an inner block must be closed before the outer block which contains it. This is why, for example, the wikitext "{{template| [[ }}" will result in an unprocessed template, since the inner "[[" is treated as the opening of a wikilink block, which prevents "}}" from being treated as the closure of the template block. On the other hand, "{{template| [[ ]] }}" will process correctly, since the wikilink block is closed before the template closure. It makes no difference whether the block will be treated as valid or not when it's processed later on, so "{{template| [[ }} ]] }}" would also work, even though "[[ }} ]]" is not a valid wikilink.

-- Note that nesting also affects pipes and equals signs, in addition to block closures.

-- These blocks can be nested to any degree, so "{{template| [[ [[ [[ ]] }}" will not work, since only one of the three wikilink blocks has been closed. On the other hand, "{{template| [[ [[ [[ ]] ]] ]] }}" will work.

-- All blocks are implicitly closed by the end of the text, since their validity is irrelevant at this stage.

-- Language conversion block.
-- Opens with "-{" and closes with "}-". However, templates/parameters take priority, so "-{{" is parsed as "-" followed by the opening of a template/parameter block (depending on what comes after).
-- Note: Language conversion blocks aren't actually enabled on the English Wiktionary, but Parsoid still parses them at this stage, so they can affect the closure of outer blocks: e.g. "[[ -{ ]]" is not a valid wikilink block, since the "]]" falls inside the new language conversion block.

--[==[
Headings

Opens with "\n=" (or "=" at the start of the text), and closes with "\n" or the end of the text. Note that it doesn't matter whether the heading will fail to process due to a premature newline (e.g. if there are no closing signs), so at this stage the only thing that matters for closure is the newline or end of text.

Note: Heading blocks are only parsed like this if they occur inside a template, since they do not iterate the preparser's heading count (i.e. they aren't proper headings).

Note 2: if directly inside a template argument with no previous equals signs, a newline followed by a single equals sign is parsed as an argument equals sign, not the opening of a new L1 heading block. This does not apply to any other heading levels. As such, {{template|key\n=}}, {{template|key\n=value}} or even {{template|\n=}} will successfully close, but {{template|key\n==}}, {{template|key=value\n=more value}}, {{template\n=}} etc. will not, since in the latter cases the "}}" would fall inside the new heading block.
