Module:Set to list

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a meta-module, designed to convert a "set" table (keys where the values are set to true) into a list. It does not work if called from a regular template.

Syntax

require('Module:Set to list').setToList( { a = true , b = true , c = true } )

returns

{ a , b , c }

		if value then
			table.insert(list, key)
		end

	table.sort(list)
	return list
