Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Separated entries/doc
-- This module takes positional parameters as input and concatenates them with
-- an optional separator. The final separator (the "conjunction") can be
-- specified independently, enabling natural-language lists like
-- "foo, bar, baz and qux".

function p._main(args)
local separator = args.separator
-- Decode (convert to Unicode) HTML escape sequences, such as " " for space.
and mw.text.decode(args.separator) or ''
local conjunction = args.conjunction and mw.text.decode(args.conjunction) or separator
-- Discard named parameters.
