/* StripSearchInWikicode.js: strips search results down to bare pagenames, and formats each item in wikicode as a bullet list item for easy copying/pasting into list articles. For vector skin only.

This script is partially operational, as it could be improved by the removal of resultant blank lines.

Brief comments are provided within the sourcecode below. For extensive explanatory 
notes on what the source code does and how it works, see the Script's workshop on 
the talk page.

// ============== Set up ==============

// Start off with a bodyguard function to reserve the aliases mw and $
( function ( mw, $ ) {

    // we can now rely on mw and $ within the safety of our “bodyguard” function, to mean 
    // "mediawiki" and "jQuery", respectively

    // ============== ready() event listener/handler ==============
    // below is jQuery short-hand for $(document).ready(function() { ... });
    // it makes the rest of the script wait until the page's DOM is loaded and ready
    $(function() {
