From The Codex

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Template documentation/doc

--- Does formatting of our template documentation, including
--  [[Template:Documentation]], [[Template:Documentation page]],
--  [[Template:Parameters]] and [[Template:Samples]].
--  @module             template_documentation
--  @alias              p
--  <nowiki>
local p = {}

--  Private logic.

--- Creates a page section with specified content.
--  @function           page_section
--  @param              {table} t Table to insert the section into
--  @param              {string} name Section name
--  @param              {string} content Section content
--  @returns            {string} Formatted section with its contents
--  @local
local function page_section(t, name, content)
    local trimmed = content and mw.text.trim(content) or ''
    if trimmed ~= '' then
        table.insert(t, '== ')
