Template:First word
{1}
|1= for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |sep= can set the separator to any character.
Usage
One parameter (space as separator):
{First word| string } {First word|1= string } Two parameters (user-defined character as separator):
{First word| string |sep= character } {First word|1= string |sep= character }
Examples
{First word|Foo bar baz} → Foo{First word| Foo bar baz} → Foo{First word|Foo} → Foo{First word|Foo-bar-baz} → Foo-bar-baz{First word|Foo-bar-baz|sep=-} → Foo{First word|34,000,500|sep=,} → 34{First word|Hear ye, users|sep=,} → Hear ye{First word|1=len = a+b|sep==} → len
