మాడ్యూల్:Suppress categories

-- This is a simple module to strip categories from wikitext. It does
-- not support nested links or magic words like __TOC__, etc. Even so,
-- it should still handle most categories.

-- Detects if a category link is valid or not. If it is valid,
-- the function returns the blank string. If not, the input
-- is returned with no changes.

        return all

-- Preprocess the content if we aren't being called from #invoke,
-- and pass it to gsub to remove valid category links.
