{#op||capitalize||{{sl}}||{{s}}||
Returns a copy of {{sl}} with the first character capitalized.#}

{#op||chr||{{i}}||{{s}}||
Returns the single character {{s}} obtained by interpreting {{i}} as an ASCII code.#}

{#op||indent||{{sl}} {{i}}||{{s}}||
Returns {{s}} containing {{sl}} indented with {{i}} spaces.#}

{#op||indexof||{{s1}} {{s2}}||{{i}}||
If {{s2}} is contained in {{s1}}, returns the index of the first match or -1 if no match is found. #}

{#op||join||{{q}} {{sl}}||{{s}}||
Joins the elements of {{q}} using separator {{sl}}, producing {{s}}.#}

{#op||chr||{{s}}||{{i}}||
Returns the ASCII code {{i}} corresponding to the single character {{s}}.#}

Returns {{s}} containing {{sl}} repeated {{i}} times.#}
