Template:Strlen quick/doc

The Template:Strlen_quick gives the length of parameter 1, as a string, with a count of 0-70 characters, using a simple, quick method. The template was designed to run quickly and use only 5 levels of expansion depth, rather than 9-13 or more levels as in other string-length templates.


 * Usage: {&#123;strlen quick|abcdef}}       &rarr; 6
 * {&#123;strlen quick|123456789.}} &rarr;
 * {&#123;strlen quick|2.4| extra= -1}} &rarr;

The optional parameter "extra= -1" can be used to return a specific value when a string exceeds the 70-character limit. The default result is -1 to indicate a string longer than 70 characters.

Known error
When the input string has length 0, the result is wrong:
 * &rarr; (ok)
 * &rarr; (ok)
 * &rarr;
