Template:Trim quotes

50px Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template trims matched pairs of leading and trailing single (') and double (") quotes and whitespace from a string. The string should be passed as the first unnamed parameter or using |1= or |s= if your string contains any = signs.

Usage

{{trim quotes|text}} = text with any leading or trailing quotes removed (as long as text doesn't contain any = signs).

{{trim quotes|1=text}} or {{trim quotes|s=text}} = text with any leading or trailing quotes removed.

Example

• {{trim quotes|1= 'abc' }} produces abc.

• {{trim quotes|1= ""abc's""}} produces abc's

• {{trim quotes|1= This is a "quote"}} produces This is a "quote" (since the quotes aren't at the beginning and end of the string)
