StringFunction Extension

 * I'm hopeful that someone can report the details on the installation and testing of this extension.
 * How will the Wiki benefit from having this extension?
 * How has this extension been used so far? It's only been installed a few hours, but I know it's been used already. Please share!

I know of three templates that are now using the replace function.


 * FHL: I created. It allows spaces in book call numbers.
 * Wpd: Steve created. It allows links to Wikipedia articles to be an external link instead of an internal.
 * 1) Record Search article: Steve created. Not sure what it does differently.
