ਫਰਮਾ:Cardinal/doc

This template converts an ordinal number into a cardinal number by stripping the ordinal indicator off the end of the only parameter. Specifically, it removes any series of letters that immediately follows a numeral.

This template should not be used in running prose in articles; it is intended for automated script processing of numeric data. Writing something like "on August {{cardinal|16th}}, 2004" serves no purpose, and just makes the wikicode harder to understand and edit.

Usage

• {{cardinal|-1st}} → -1
• {{cardinal|0th}} → 0
• {{cardinal|1st}} → 1
• {{cardinal|2nd}} → 2
• {{cardinal|3rd}} → 3
• {{cardinal|4th}} → 4
• {{cardinal|1,234th}} → 1,234
• {{cardinal|blahblah}} → blahblah
