Editing Module:POTD titletext/sandbox

-- this module may be used by [[Template:POTD row]] to allow for substitution of the
-- [[Template:POTD texttitle]] created when substituting a [[Template:POTD/YYYY-MM-DD]]
-- template with the textitle parameter.
--
-- For example, compare the result from
--   {{subst:POTD/YYYY-MM-DD|texttitle}}
-- with
--   {{subst:#invoke:POTD titletext|main|YYYY-MM-DD}}
