A simple module to check whether a supplied string is a valid name of a month in the Julian or Gregorian calendars
== Operation ==
If the first parameter is the name of month, then it returns the parameter. In all other cases, it returns an empty string. (This return of a null string for a non-match allows the module to be used in templates simply by checking that the result is not an empty string.
It has three callable functions:
;isFullMonthName:
:Checks whether the parameter is the full name of a month, e.g. July or October
;isShortMonthName:
:Checks whether the parameter is the three-letter short name of a month, e.g. Jul or Oct
;isMonthName:
:Checks whether the parameter is either:
:a) the full name of a month, e.g. July or October
:b) the three-letter short name of a month, e.g. Jul or Oct
By default, the checks are case-sensitive. However, with function, case-insensitivity can be specified by supplying a second parameter: {{Param|ignorecase}}
== Usage ==
For clarity of code, this module is best called through one of the three wrapper templates: {{tl|Is valid full month name}}, {{tl|Is valid short month name}}, and {{tl|Is valid month name}}
;isFullMonthName
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''isFullMonthName''|mytext}}</code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''isFullMonthName''|mytext|ignorecase}}</code>
;isShortMonthName
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''isShortMonthName''|mytext}}</code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''isShortMonthName''|mytext|ignorecase}}</code>
;isMonthName
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''isMonthName''|mytext}}</code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''isMonthName''|mytext|ignorecase}}</code>
