{{tlx|dau}} is | {{tlx|dau}} is a specialised version of {{tl|da}} ({{tl|dab away}}) which makes it possible to strip the [[dab term]] from [[T:SMW|SMW]] tables. In these tables, the normal procedure of using {{tl|da}} — which works in other types of SMW output, such as the bulleted list (ul) — fails spectacularly, because SMW itself is creating an unusual kind of link. The standard linked output looks like this: | ||
<pre>[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)]]</pre> | |||
For whatever reason, the SMW coders create links in this very redundant way, which means the only solution is to get rid of the ''second'' [[dab term]] only. | |||
The only recourse is the use of the #sub parser function, with which you can take off a negative number of letters at the end of the string, resulting in<pre>[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour</pre> | |||
Add a closing pair of brackets — ]] — and your golden! | |||
This is a very different principle, however, to the one on which {{tl|da}} works. | |||
