Change Details

**Feature summary** Add a frame method to scribunto to create child frames and process arguments with a limited subset of the preprocessing that `frame:preprocess` would do. The subset of `frame:preprocess`: the parsing that is applied on arg input to module invocations. An example of this problem: ``` {{#invoke:test|dump_args|== {{!}} wikitext == * to [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] conversion * should ''not'' happen now}} ``` If a Lua table of args are split by a parser module and passed through `frame:preprocess`, that becomes: ``` "==| '\"`UNIQ--h-0--QINU`\"' wikitext ==\ * to [[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] conversion\ * should ''not'' happen now" ``` If you don't use `frame:preprocess` none of the argument wikitext is expanded by `frame:newChild` and that's also wrong to me. **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): # Matching behaviour between templates and modules for raw argument tables in parent or grandparent frames. # Unit testing of Scribunto modules **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): Would make it much easier to test modules and follow the exact output produced from the Scribunto module's input.
