Vorlage:Force last punctuation

This template checks for the last punctuation character and removes it if there should be comma (,) colon (:) semicolon (;) exclamation mark (!) question mark (?) or a dot (.). So it forces to be there one of these characters. But it can also remove the last character. Examples:

Code	Result
{{Force last punctuation| : |Text had a dot.}}	Text had a dot.
{{Force last punctuation| : |Text had no dot or other punctuation}}	Text had no dot or other punctuatio:
{{Force last punctuation| . |Text and question mark remains? | allow = ?! }}	Text and question mark remains?
{{Force last punctuation| delete |Text had a question mark? }}	Text had a question mark
{{Force last punctuation| delete |Text had no final .;:!? or so … }}	Text had no final .;:!? or so …

There exist also the template: remove last punctuation, which is just a wrapper to {{force last punctuation | delete |Text had a question mark?}}.
