This template uses Lua: |
This template converts an ordinal number into a cardinal number by stripping the ordinal indicator off the end of the only parameter. Specifically, it removes any series of letters that immediately follows a numeral.
This template should not be used in running prose in articles; it is intended for automated script processing of numeric data. Writing something like "on August ((cardinal|16th)), 2004
" serves no purpose, and just makes the wikicode harder to understand and edit.
