This template is used to produce a simple loop. It is based on Module:String, and there is no limit to the number of iterations it can perform.
Usage
{{loop|times to repeat|string}}
If string contains an equals sign, you must put "|2=string" instead of "|string".
Examples
When the string being replicated includes "=", we have to precede the second parameter with "2=", or use {{=}}. Template:Markup
Surrounding whitespace is always stripped; you must use {{#invoke:string|rep}} instead to preserve it.
