Adding possibility for deep asterisk linking; testcases in sandbox passing (they fail in the **correct** way for a known caveat of current version)

New page

local p = {};

local regex = "(:*%**)%*%s*%[%[([^%]|:][^%]:]*[^%]|:])%]%]%s*"
local repl = "%1* {{Annotated link |%2}}"

function p.replaceLinksInUnorderedList(markup)
-- provided for convenience to make console testing easier for development
--
-- matches any wikilinks that are
-- 1. at the beginning of a list item
-- 2. with no existing annotation (or any text) following them
--
-- must run twice because match utilizes the newlines on *both* sides
-- of wikilinks and thus, "consumes" those chars during the first match
-- such that every-other line is ineligible for matching until the second
-- run. (which does the same thing but for all the other lines)

-- Test case(s?):
-- =p.replaceLinksInUnorderedList("\n*[[TEst|teST]] \n:* [[name]]\n::*[[link]] - with existing annotation\n::* [[for|a friend]] \n*[[t]]\n")

local anls, cnt1, cnt2

-- pattern and replacement updated locally to require newlines
-- on both sides
local regex_line = '\n' .. regex .. '\n'
local repl_line = '\n' .. repl .. '\n'

anls, cnt1 = mw.ustring.gsub(markup, regex_line, repl_line)
anls, cnt2 = mw.ustring.gsub(anls, regex_line, repl_line)

mw.log("Replaced " .. cnt1+cnt2 .. " links without existing annotations")

return anls
end

function p.bySubstitutionInUnorderedList(frame)
return p.replaceLinksInUnorderedList(frame.args[1])
end

function p._testline(line)
-- testing function used to evaluate a single line against the pattern(regex)
-- signature designed to accommodate Module:UnitTests:equals
-- so frame args are NOT extracted, a raw string is expected
local res, cnt = mw.ustring.gsub(line, '^'..regex..'$', repl)
return res
