This module provides the back end functionality of the Template:EcopediaString.

If the template is passed information will be displayed using details from the following Modules:

• Module:EcopediaData

-- Grabs args from the parent frame
-- Trims and parses the args into a table, then returns the table

        if v ~= '' then
