== Usage ==
[[Module:Separated entries]] serves as a template front-end to <code>[[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.text.listToText|mw.text.listToText]]</code>. It takes [[Variadic function|any number]] of positional parameters and [[Concatenation|pieces them together]] with {{Para|separator}}. {{Para|conjunction}} can be optionally defined if a different separator is desired between the last and second last items. The starting positional parameter can be specified using {{Para|start}}. Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped. To add deliberate leading and trailing whitespace, use the HTML entity <code>&amp;#32;</code> for a space and <code>&amp;#10;</code> for a "newline". Separated entries does not raise any errors by design.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{#invoke:separated entries|main|separator=...}}</syntaxhighlight>

For more complex cases – such as selecting the parameters to list, or preprocessing them, or omitting the last parameters – {{mfl|params|list_values}} is available. The following two examples with “ + ” as delimiter and “ ... ” as conjunction produce a similar result:

# <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{#invoke:separated entries|main|separator=&#32;+&#32;|conjunction=&#32;...&#32;}}</syntaxhighlight>
# <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>{{#invoke:params|sequential|squeezing|trimming_values|setting|i/l| + | ... |list_values}}</syntaxhighlight>
