The English Wikipedia has several templates and Lua modules which can format or manipulate strings.In this context a "string" is any piece of text forming part of a page. This help page covers a few useful techniques; look in the navbox below for the full catalogue of templa
String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both).. Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly.
This text calls the Lua script itself, which is housed in the Module: namespace. The effect of this call is to send the information within the #invoke block to the Lua module, and to replace everything within the brackets with a piece of text that it sends back in return. (Literally, in the "return" statement)
The string-search functions in Lua script can run extremely fast, comparing millions of characters per second. For example, a search of a 40,000-character article text, for 99 separate words (passed as 99 parameters in a template), ran within one second of Lua CPU clock time.
LuaJIT, a just-in-time implementation of Lua, has an FFI that allows "calling external C functions and using C data structures from pure Lua code". [4] [5]: 35 Nim has an FFI which enables it to use source from C, C++, and Objective-C. It can also interface with JavaScript.
Nim provides string interpolation via the strutils module. Formatted string literals inspired by Python F-string are provided via the strformat module, the strformat macro verifies that the format string is well-formed and well-typed, and then are expanded into Nim source code at compile-time.

Lua bytecode can also be produced and executed from within Lua, using the dump function from the string library and the load/loadstring/loadfile functions. Lua version 5.3.4 is implemented in approximately 24,000 lines of C code. [3] [4]
