+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | $__leftw__(<count> <word list>) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical:====== | ||
+ | * If the <count> argument is omitted the empty string is returned. | ||
+ | * If the <count> argument is less than 1, the empty string is returned. | ||
+ | * This function returns the first <count> words from <word list>. | ||
+ | * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical:====== | ||
+ | Useful when you want to get the first few words in a word list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns:====== | ||
