{{shortcut|Template:Trimbr}}
{{lua|Module:String}}

This template trims leading and trailing square brackets and whitespace from a string. This is similar to {{tl|delink}}, but it won't remove brackets from the middle of the string. The string should be passed as the first unnamed parameter or using {{para|1}} if your string contains any <code>=</code> signs. You may [[WP:SUBST|substitute]] this template - that is, if used as {{tlxs|trim brackets}}, the resulting wikicode is "clean".

== Usage ==
{{tlx|trim brackets|''text''}} = ''text'' with any leading or trailing square brackets removed (as long as ''text'' doesn't contain any <code>=</code> signs).

{{tlx|1=trim brackets|2=1=''text''}} = ''text'' with any leading or trailing square brackets removed.

== Example ==
*"{{tlx|trim brackets|<nowiki>1= [[abc]] </nowiki>}}" produces "{{trim brackets|1= [[abc]] }}".

*"{{tlx|trim brackets|<nowiki>1= [[abc]], [[def]], and [[ghi]] </nowiki>}}" produces "{{trim brackets|1= [[abc]], [[def]], and [[ghi]] }}"<br />("{{tlx|delink|<nowiki>1= [[abc]], [[def]], and [[ghi]] </nowiki>}}" produces "{{delink|1= [[abc]], [[def]], and [[ghi]] }}").

*"{{tlx|trim brackets|<nowiki>1= [[abc|xyz]] </nowiki>}}" produces "{{trim brackets|1= [[abc|xyz]] }}".
