Wrapper template for function posnq in [[Module:String2]].

* posnq (position, no quotes) returns the numerical start position of the first occurrence of one piece of text ("match") inside another ("str").
* It returns nil if no match is found, or if either parameter is blank.
* It takes the text to be searched in as the first unnamed parameter, which is trimmed.
* It takes the text to match as the second unnamed parameter, which is trimmed and any double quotes " are stripped out. That allows spaces at the beginning or end of the match string to be included in a consistent manner.

== Examples ==
* <code><nowiki>{{Posnq |This is a piece of text to be searched |piece of }}</nowiki></code> → {{Posnq |This is a piece of text to be searched |piece of }}
* <code><nowiki>{{Posnq |This is a piece oftext to be searched |piece of }}</nowiki></code> → {{Posnq |This is a piece oftext to be searched |piece of }}
