Module:TaxonList

-- This module provides the core functionality to a set of templates used to display a list of taxon name/authority pairs, with the taxon names optionally italicized, wikilinked and/or emboldened. Such lists are usually part of taxoboxes.

-- use a function from Module:TaxonItalics to italicize a taxon name local TaxonItalics = require("Module:TaxonItalics")

local p = {}

--[[========================================================================= Utility function to strip off any initial † present to mark the taxon as extinct. The † must not be italicized, emboldened, or included in the wikilinked text, so needs to be added back afterwards. † is assumed to be present as one of: module and is assumed to have the form '<span ... ' The function returns two values: the taxon name with any † before it removed and either '†' if it was present or the empty string if not.
 * the unicode character †
 * the HTML entity &dagger;
 * the output of – this will have been expanded before reaching this

--[[========================================================================= The function returns a list of taxon names and authorities, appropriately formatted. Usage:

The template that transcludes the invoking template must supply an indefinite even number of arguments in the format
