Template: Loop
From Break Into Chat - BBS wiki
Template documentationThis template is used to produce a simple loop. It is based on Module:String, and there is no limit to the number of iterations it can perform.
Usage
{{loop|times to repeat|string}}
If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".
Examples
{{loop|4|n}}
- nnnn
{{loop|25|test}}
- testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest
{{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{=}}.
{{loop|9|2==}}
- =========
or:
{{loop|9|{{=}}}}
- =========
{{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
