"eo.wiktionary.org/wiki/Modulo:loaddata-tbldialektoj" <!--2023-Nov-18-->

Purpose: translate (the transcludable part of) wikitext of a template
         (name is hardcoded to "tbldialek") to 2 LUA tables that can be
         used repeatedly via the infamous "mw.loadData" command

Utilo: traduki na (la transkluzivigebla parto de) vikiteksto de sxablono
       (nomo fiksita al "tbldialektoj") al 2 LUA-tabeloj kiuj povas esti
       uzataj ripete per la famacxa ordono "mw.loadData"

Manfaat: menerjemahkan (bagian yang bisa ditransklusikan) wikiteks templat
         (namanya tetap "tbldialek") menjadi 2 tabel LUA yang bisa digunakan
         beberapa kali melalui perintah "mw.loadData" yang terkenal buruk

Syfte: oeversaetta (den transkluderingsbara delen av) wikitext fraan en mall
       (namn fastslaget till "tbldialektoj") till 2 LUA-tabeller som kan
       anvaendas upprepade gaanger medelst det oekaenda
       kommandot "mw.loadData"

Used by templates / Uzata far sxablonoj /
Digunakan oleh templat / Anvaent av mallar:
* "Vikivortaro:Testo-tbldialektoj" (NOT a template) serving as
  a low-level test and diagnostic tool for the system
* "bigtable-tbldialektoj" / "bigtable-tbldialek" serving additionally as
  a high-level test and diagnostic tool for the system
* "tagg"

Required submodules / Bezonataj submoduloj / Submodul yang diperlukan:
* none

Required templates:
* "tbldialek" or "tbldialektoj"

Incoming: * nothing (imported via "mw.loadData", no ordinary caller)

Returned: * LUA table containing up to 17 items of status data, and
            up to 6 inner LUA tables of main data:
            * status values (some can happen to be empty):
              * [2] (integer) status code (see below)

              * [4] (integer) remaining bloat of table content area,
                    after removing both outer areas and outer EOL:s but
                    still keeping all possible excessive inner whitespace
              * [6] (integer) octet position of error (relative to table
                    content area, excessive inner whitespace does count,
                    two outer areas and outer EOL:s don't)
              * [8] (integer) number of sections found, or index of section
                    where an error occurred (empty lines do NOT count)
              * [9] (integer) number of lines found, or index of line
                    where an error occurred (empty lines do NOT count)

              * [15] maximal number of elements in a valid line
              * [16] (string, AA) error string on some errors,
                                  otherwise empty string

              * [21] (string, DD) error string on some errors,
                                  otherwise empty string
                     * on E07 number of bad char:s and code of earliest

                                  otherwise empty string
                     * if applicable latter participant in sorting crime
                     * if applicable conflicting keys of the duping string
            * main data (selectable, type "nil" if not active):
            * ["T75"] (table) enumeration table with key/index ZERO-based
            * ["T76"] (table) y-index -> element in left-most column
            * ["T77"] (table) table y-index -> complete line
            * ["T78"] (table) table y-index -> subtable
            * ["T80"] (table) left-most column -> y-index
            * ["T81-" n] (table) other column of interest -> y-index
              * ["T81-1"] (table) column ONE -> y-index

Note that this module is NOT generic and CANNOT be made generic due to the
principle that data received by "mw.loadData" must be static and thus it is
not possible to submit parameters (namely name of the template to be seized)
to this module.

Status codes:
* #E00: OK
* #E02: template not found (outside of scope of the specification)
* #E03 ... #E79: range reserved by the
                 specification (see "spec-picker-en.txt")

Structure:
* the useful content area is delimited:
  * begins with <pre> LF 60 x cross "#" LF
  * ends with LF 60 x cross "#" LF </pre>
* in the useful content area:
  * empty lines are ignored
  * there are 2 types of lines
    * language code lines containing a raw language code prefixed by "### "
    * dialect lines containing:
      * dialect code inside "[[" & "]]"
      * 1 to 5 wall-separated values (WSV)
