Usage

{{loop|times to repeat|string}}

If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".

Examples

Markup Renders as
{{loop|4|n}}

nnnn

{{loop|25|test}}

testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest

{{#expr:2{{loop|50|*2}}}}

2.2517998136852E+15

{{loop|3|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

202520252025

When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{}}.

Markup Renders as
{{loop|9|2==}}

=========

{{loop|9|{{=}}}}

=========

Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{#invoke:string|rep}} instead to preserve it.

Markup Renders as
{{#invoke:String|rep| hello |3}}

" hello hello hello "

{{loop|3| hello }}

"hellohellohello"
