This is the {{str letter}} meta-template.
It takes a string as parameter, and returns its length of preceding letters. It can count up to 25 in length, and returns 25 for strings that are too long.
Examples
If the parameter is empty or undefined it is considered to be of zero length:
{{str letter}}returns 0{{str letter|}}returns 0{{str letter| }}returns 0
The count is interrupted by numbers, symbols, and punctuation:
{{str letter|12345}}returns 0{{str letter|abcdef?}}returns 0{{str letter|abc def}}returns 0{{str letter|ABcD123}}returns 0{{str letter|abc, def}}returns 0{{str letter|abc(def)}}returns 0{{str letter|abc xyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}}returns 0{{str letter|ÁbČĐÈęFğ}}returns 0{{str letter|NR<ref>a reference</ref>}}returns 0
It can measure strings up to 25 in length, and returns 25 for strings that are too long:
