Template: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.

Examples

Markup	Output
{{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
