Pppery moved page Module:TextMarkup to Module:Sandbox/Wnt/TextMarkup without leaving a redirect: Boldly userfying unused module by inactive user who has in the past asked for their abandoned modules to be userfied

New page

---- This module accepts a piece of text or the name of a page
---- It acts on angle-bracket tags in the text to simulate an extension of the html/wiki markup set
---- Vaguely per [[WP:Lua requests]], the <inc> tag is the first example, replaced with a number
---- that increases each count. You can set or reset the count and rate at any time by <inc i j>
---- where i=the number of that tag and j is the difference to succeeding tags.
