This template uses Lua: Module:Expand wikitext

Interprets the input as wikitext using the frame:preprocess function. Any arguments passed to {{Expand wikitext}} are available in the preprocessed code, letting this be used as a rudimentary way of using variables.

If the entire input is in a nowiki tag, or if the optional parameter |unstrip=yes is specified, first extracts the contents of nowiki tags before preprocessing.
