This template uses Lua :
This template returns the first word of the first parameter. Use |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==}} → lenSee also
