Module:String

This module implements some string functions to break apart semi-colon separate template parameters and turn them into links. This is so that a parameter setup to be digested into a Cargo list can be displayed without being pulled via query.

To use:

• {{#invoke:String | splitAndLink | source={{{the template parameter you are split linking|}}} }}
