Template:Ucfirstletter
 | This template uses Lua: |
 | This template should always be substituted in the article namespace. |
Usage
Converts the first ASCII letter character of a string to uppercase. This behavior is different from the magic word ucfirst, which affects the first character of a string regardless of whether it is a letter or not.
Examples
{{ucfirstletter|test}} → {{subst:#invoke:String|match|test|%A*}}{{subst:uc:{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|test|%a.*}}|1|1}}}}{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|test|%a.*}}|2}}
{{ucfirstletter|(test)}} → {{subst:#invoke:String|match|(test)|%A*}}{{subst:uc:{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|(test)|%a.*}}|1|1}}}}{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|(test)|%a.*}}|2}}
{{ucfirstletter|6th century}} → {{subst:#invoke:String|match|6th century|%A*}}{{subst:uc:{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|6th century|%a.*}}|1|1}}}}{{subst:#invoke:String|sub|{{subst:#invoke:String|match|6th century|%a.*}}|2}}
- (compare to
{{ucfirst:6th century}}→ 6th century)
