Topic on Extension talk:Arrays

The classical parser newline tricks involving <nowiki /> allow making lists using arrays.

I'm using this extension to build a template that takes a comma seperated list as an argument and prints it out as a bulleted list. It works for the first bullet, but the subsequent bullets are rendered as asterisks. Is it a bug?

{{#arraydefine:people|{{{1|}}}{{{people|}}}|,}}{{#arrayprint:people|<br />|@@@@|*{{has person|@@@@}} }}

I'm testing it with

{{has people|john smith, jason smith, sally smith}}

Which gives me something like this: https://www.crewsgenealogy.com/wiki/Test/array_problem

Is it a bug, or am I just missing something?

You need the list syntax at the beginning of a line. Try the following code instead:

{{#arraydefine:people|{{{1|}}}{{{people|}}}|,}}{{#arrayprint:people|<br />|@@@@|
*{{has person|@@@@}} }}

If that doesn't fix it (I can't ever remember without testing myself), insert a <nowiki/> or <noinclude/> at the end of the first line:

{{#arraydefine:people|{{{1|}}}{{{people|}}}|,}}{{#arrayprint:people|<br />|@@@@|<noinclude/>
*{{has person|@@@@}} }}

Thanks, the </nowiki> did the trick.
