== escapePattern ==
Escapes magic characters in a [[mw:LUAREF#Patterns|Lua pattern]]. If you convert a string using this function, then the converted string will be interpreted as a literal string in functions that accept Lua patterns. For example, <code>.</code>, meaning "any character", will be converted to <code>%.</code>, meaning the literal character ".".
Usage:
* <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:String|escapePattern|</nowiki>''pattern_string''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
Parameters:
; pattern_string
: The pattern string to escape
Examples:
* <code><nowiki>"{{#invoke:String|escapePattern|A.D.}}"</nowiki></code> → "{{#invoke:String|escapePattern|A.D.}}"
* <code><nowiki>"{{#invoke:String|escapePattern|10%}}"</nowiki></code> → "{{#invoke:String|escapePattern|10%}}"
