Template:Lcfirstletter
 | This template uses Lua: |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Lcfirstletter}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
Usage
Converts the first ASCII letter character of a string to lowercase. This behavior is different from the magic word lcfirst, which affects the first character of a string regardless of whether it is a letter or not.
Examples
<syntaxhighlight inline="1" lang="wikitext">{{lcfirstletter|Test}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{subst:#invoke:String|match|Test|%A*}}{{subst:lc:{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|Test|%a.*}}|1|1}}}}{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|Test|%a.*}}|2}}
<syntaxhighlight inline="1" lang="wikitext">{{lcfirstletter|(Test)}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{subst:#invoke:String|match|(Test)|%A*}}{{subst:lc:{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|(Test)|%a.*}}|1|1}}}}{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|(Test)|%a.*}}|2}}
<syntaxhighlight inline="1" lang="wikitext">{{lcfirstletter|6Th century}}</syntaxhighlight> → {{subst:#invoke:String|match|6Th century|%A*}}{{subst:lc:{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|6Th century|%a.*}}|1|1}}}}{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|6Th century|%a.*}}|2}}
