مودول:Convert/helper

This module is not used by module:Convert. It can be used in templates to preprocess input from regular written text into formatted input. For example:

{{convert|{{#invoke:Convert/helper |number |1=15 4/3 }}|...}} → {{convert|15+4/3|...}}

Usage

Applied in {{NFL predraft}}.

-- Remove commas and references (any strip markers) from a number.

	Template:Fraction redirects to Template:Frac so either may be used in the input.
