-Combine coverage data from multiple jobs, keeping the data only from the most recent attempt from each job.
-Coverage artifacts must be named using the format: "Coverage $(System.JobAttempt) {StableUniqueNameForEachJob}"

-
-## Run sanity, unit or integration tests locally
-
-You have to check out the repository into a specific path structure to be able to run `ansible-test`. The path to the git checkout must end with `.../ansible_collections/community/general`. Please see [our testing guide](https://github.com/ansible/community-docs/blob/main/test_pr_locally_guide.rst) for instructions on how to check out the repository into a correct path structure. The short version of these instructions is:
-
-```.bash
-mkdir -p ~/dev/ansible_collections/community
-git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-cd ~/dev/ansible_collections/community/general
-```
-
-Then you can run `ansible-test` (which is a part of [ansible-core](https://pypi.org/project/ansible-core/)) inside the checkout. The following example commands expect that you have installed Docker or Podman. Note that Podman has only been supported by more recent ansible-core releases. If you are using Docker, the following will work with Ansible 2.9+.
-
-The following commands show how to run sanity tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run sanity tests for all files in the collection:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v
-
-# Run sanity tests for the given files and directories:
-ansible-test sanity --docker -v plugins/modules/system/pids.py tests/integration/targets/pids/
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run unit tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run all unit tests:
-ansible-test units --docker -v
-
-# Run all unit tests for one Python version (a lot faster):
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8
-
-# Run a specific unit test (for the nmcli module) for one Python version:
-ansible-test units --docker -v --python 3.8 tests/unit/plugins/modules/net_tools/test_nmcli.py
-```
-
-The following commands show how to run integration tests:
-
-```.bash
-# Run integration tests for the interfaces_files module in a Docker container using the
-# fedora35 operating system image (the supported images depend on your ansible-core version):
-ansible-test integration --docker fedora35 -v interfaces_file
-
-# Run integration tests for the flattened lookup **without any isolation**:
-ansible-test integration -v lookup_flattened
-```
-
-If you are unsure about the integration test target name for a module or plugin, you can take a look in `tests/integration/targets/`. Tests for plugins have the plugin type prepended.
-
-## Creating new modules or plugins
-
-Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
-
-1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
-   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
-
-2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
-   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
-   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
-   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
-
-3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
-
-   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
-   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
-     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
-   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
-     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
-   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
-     which run in CI.
-
-4. For modules and action plugins, make sure to create your module/plugin in the correct subdirectory, and add a redirect entry
-   in `meta/runtime.yml`. For example, for the `aerospike_migrations` module located in
-   `plugins/modules/database/aerospike/aerospike_migrations.py`, you need to create the following entry:
-   ```.yaml
-       aerospike_migrations:
-         redirect: community.general.database.aerospike.aerospike_migrations
-   ```
-   Here, the relative path `database/aerospike/` is inserted into the module's FQCN (Fully Qualified Collection Name) after the
-   collection's name and before the module's name. This must not be done for other plugin types but modules and action plugins!
-
-   - Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
-     (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
-     than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
-
-5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
-   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
-   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
-
-   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.
-
-## pre-commit
-
-To help ensure high-quality contributions this repository includes a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration which
-corrects and tests against common issues that would otherwise cause CI to fail. To begin using these pre-commit hooks see
-the [Installation](#installation) section below.
-
-This is optional and not required to contribute to this repository.
-
-### Installation
-
-Follow the [instructions](https://pre-commit.com/#install) provided with pre-commit and run `pre-commit install` under the repository base. If for any reason you would like to disable the pre-commit hooks run `pre-commit uninstall`.
-
-This is optional to run it locally.
-
-You can trigger it locally with `pre-commit run --all-files` or even to run only for a given file `pre-commit run --files YOUR_FILE`.

-### FQCNs for modules and actions
-
-⚠️ The collection uses a similar directory structure for modules as the Ansible repository used for Ansible 2.9 and before. This directory structure was never exposed to the user. Due to changes in community.general 5.0.0 (using `meta/runtime.yml` redirects instead of symbolic links) some tooling started exposing the internal module names to end-users. These **internal names**, like `community.general.system.ufw` for the UFW firewall managing module, do work, but should be avoided since they are treated as an implementation detail that can change at any time, even in bugfix releases. Always use the three-component FQCN form, for example `community.general.ufw` for the UFW module. ⚠️

-Merging lists of dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
-
-.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-common.yml')|indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[0:2] %}
-{{ i.label }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-{% for i in examples[2:4] %}
-{{ i.label }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}
-
-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
-
-**recursive**
-    Is a boolean, default to ``False``. Should the ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
-
-**list_merge**
-    Is a string, its possible values are ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  {{ lookup('file', 'default-recursive-true.yml')|indent(2) }}
-
-{% for i in examples[4:16] %}
-{{ i.label }}
-
-.. code-block:: {{ i.lang }}
-
-  {{ lookup('file', i.file)|indent(2) }}
-
-{% endfor %}

-Counting elements in a sequence
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``community.general.counter`` filter plugin allows you to count (hashable) elements in a sequence. Elements are returned as dictionary keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Count character occurrences in a string
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'abccbaabca' | community.general.counter }}"
-
-    - name: Count items in a list
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ ['car', 'car', 'bike', 'plane', 'bike'] | community.general.counter }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Count character occurrences in a string] ********************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": {
-            "a": 4,
-            "b": 3,
-            "c": 3
-        }
-    }
-
-    TASK [Count items in a list] **************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": {

-            "car": 2,
-            "plane": 1
-        }
-    }
-
-This plugin is useful for selecting resources based on current allocation:

-Dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-You can use the ``dict_kv`` filter to create a single-entry dictionary with ``value | community.general.dict_kv(key)``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Create a single-entry dictionary
-      debug:

-      vars:

-          database: all
-        myservers:
-        - server1
-        - server2
-

-                "server": "server2",
-                "type": "host"
-            }
-        ]
-    }
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-If you need to convert a list of key-value pairs to a dictionary, you can use the ``dict`` function. Unfortunately, this function cannot be used with ``map``. For this, the ``community.general.dict`` filter can be used:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Create a dictionary with the dict function
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ dict([[1, 2], ['a', 'b']]) }}"
-
-    - name: Create a dictionary with the community.general.dict filter
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ [[1, 2], ['a', 'b']] | community.general.dict }}"
-
-    - name: Create a list of dictionaries with map and the community.general.dict filter
-      debug:
-        msg: >-
-          {{ values | map('zip', ['k1', 'k2', 'k3'])
-                    | map('map', 'reverse')
-                    | map('community.general.dict') }}
-      vars:
-        values:
-          - - foo
-            - 23
-            - a
-          - - bar
-            - 42

-Grouping
-^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
-
-One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
-      debug:
-        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')
-
-    - name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point
-      debug:
-        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('mount')

-Merging lists of dictionaries
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If you have two or more lists of dictionaries and want to combine them into a list of merged dictionaries, where the dictionaries are merged by an attribute, you can use the ``lists_mergeby`` filter.
-
-.. note:: The output of the examples in this section use the YAML callback plugin. Quoting: "Ansible output that can be quite a bit easier to read than the default JSON formatting." See :ref:`the documentation for the community.general.yaml callback plugin <ansible_collections.community.general.yaml_callback>`.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list1:
-    - name: foo
-      extra: true
-    - name: bar
-      extra: false
-    - name: meh
-      extra: true
-
-  list2:
-    - name: foo
-      path: /foo
-    - name: baz
-      path: /baz
-
-In the example below the lists are merged by the attribute ``name``:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ list1|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby(list2, 'name') }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - extra: false
-    name: bar
-  - name: baz
-    path: /baz
-  - extra: true
-    name: foo
-    path: /foo
-  - extra: true
-    name: meh
-
-
-.. versionadded:: 2.0.0
-
-It is possible to use a list of lists as an input of the filter:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name') }}"
-
-This produces the same result as in the previous example:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - extra: false
-    name: bar
-  - name: baz
-    path: /baz
-  - extra: true
-    name: foo
-    path: /foo
-  - extra: true
-    name: meh
-
-
-The filter also accepts two optional parameters: ``recursive`` and ``list_merge``. These parameters are only supported when used with ansible-base 2.10 or ansible-core, but not with Ansible 2.9. This is available since community.general 4.4.0.
-
-**recursive**
-    Is a boolean, default to ``False``. Should the ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` recursively merge nested hashes. Note: It does not depend on the value of the ``hash_behaviour`` setting in ``ansible.cfg``.
-
-**list_merge**
-    Is a string, its possible values are ``replace`` (default), ``keep``, ``append``, ``prepend``, ``append_rp`` or ``prepend_rp``. It modifies the behaviour of ``community.general.lists_mergeby`` when the hashes to merge contain arrays/lists.
-
-The examples below set ``recursive=true`` and display the differences among all six options of ``list_merge``. Functionality of the parameters is exactly the same as in the filter ``combine``. See :ref:`Combining hashes/dictionaries <combine_filter>` to learn details about these options.
-
-Let us use the lists below in the following examples
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list1:
-    - name: myname01
-      param01:
-        x: default_value
-        y: default_value
-        list:
-          - default_value
-    - name: myname02
-      param01: [1, 1, 2, 3]
-
-  list2:
-    - name: myname01
-      param01:
-        y: patch_value
-        z: patch_value
-        list:
-          - patch_value
-    - name: myname02
-      param01: [3, 4, 4, {key: value}]
-
-Example ``list_merge=replace`` (default):
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-  list3: "{{ [list1, list2]|
-             community.general.lists_mergeby('name',
-                                             recursive=true) }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml
-
-  list3:
-  - name: myname01
-    param01:
-      list:
-      - patch_value
-      x: default_value
-      y: patch_value
-      z: patch_value
-  - name: myname02
-    param01:
-    - 3
-    - 4
-    - 4

-Parsing CSV files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Ansible offers the :ref:`community.general.read_csv module <ansible_collections.community.general.read_csv_module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the ``from_csv`` filter exists.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Parse CSV from string"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ csv_string | community.general.from_csv }}"
-      vars:
-        csv_string: |
-          foo,bar,baz
-          1,2,3
-          you,this,then
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Parse CSV from string] **************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": [
-            {
-                "bar": "2",
-                "baz": "3",
-                "foo": "1"
-            },
-            {
-                "bar": "this",
-                "baz": "then",
-                "foo": "you"
-            }
-        ]
-    }
-
-The ``from_csv`` filter has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
-
-:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
-:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
-:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
-:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
-:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.
-
-.. versionadded: 3.0.0
-
-Converting to JSON
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-`JC <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ is a CLI tool and Python library which allows to interpret output of various CLI programs as JSON. It is also available as a filter in community.general. This filter needs the `jc Python library <https://pypi.org/project/jc/>`_ installed on the controller.

-Creating identifiers
---------------------
-
-The following filters allow to create identifiers.
-
-Hashids
-^^^^^^^
-
-`Hashids <https://hashids.org/>`_ allow to convert sequences of integers to short unique string identifiers. This filter needs the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Create hashid"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ [1234, 5, 6] | community.general.hashids_encode }}"
-
-    - name: "Decode hashid"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ 'jm2Cytn' | community.general.hashids_decode }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Create hashid] **********************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "jm2Cytn"

-
-    TASK [Decode hashid] **********************************************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": [
-            1234,
-            5,
-            6
-        ]
-    }
-
-The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:
-
-:salt: String to use as salt when hashing.
-:alphabet: String of 16 or more unique characters to produce a hash.
-:min_length: Minimum length of hash produced.
-
-.. versionadded: 3.0.0
-
-Random MACs
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-You can use the ``random_mac`` filter to complete a partial `MAC address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ to a random 6-byte MAC address.
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with ff:"
-      debug:

-
-    - name: "Create a random MAC starting with 00:11:22:"
-      debug:
-        msg: "{{ '00:11:22' | community.general.random_mac }}"
-
-This produces:
-
-.. code-block:: ansible-output
-
-    TASK [Create a random MAC starting with ff:] **********************************************
-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "ff:69:d3:78:7f:b4"
-    }
-

-    ok: [localhost] => {
-        "msg": "00:11:22:71:5d:3b"
-    }
-
-You can also initialize the random number generator from a seed to create random-but-idempotent MAC addresses:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    "{{ '52:54:00' | community.general.random_mac(seed=inventory_hostname) }}"

-Paths
------
-
-The ``path_join`` filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use ``community.general``'s ``path_join`` shim, ``community.general.path_join``. This filter redirects to ``path_join`` for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.

-Selecting JSON data: JSON queries
----------------------------------
-
-To select a single element or a data subset from a complex data structure in JSON format (for example, Ansible facts), use the ``json_query`` filter.  The ``json_query`` filter lets you query a complex JSON structure and iterate over it using a loop structure.
-
-.. note:: You must manually install the **jmespath** dependency on the Ansible controller before using this filter. This filter is built upon **jmespath**, and you can use the same syntax. For examples, see `jmespath examples <http://jmespath.org/examples.html>`_.
-
-Consider this data structure:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja

-                        "port": "9090"
-                    }
-                ],
-                "library": [
-                    {
-                        "name": "lib1",
-                        "target": "cluster1"
-                    },

-                ]
-            }
-        }
-    }
-
-To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all cluster names
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
-
-To extract all server names:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all server names
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
-
-To extract ports from cluster1:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
-
-.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
-
-To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
-
-.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
-
-You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
-
-.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
-
-To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        var: item
-      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster2'].{name: name, port: port}"
-
-To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
-
-To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
-
-.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
-
-    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
-      ansible.builtin.debug:
-        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
-      vars:
-        server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
-
-.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use `` to_json | from_json `` filter for correct parsing of data structure.

-Working with times
-------------------
-
-The ``to_time_unit`` filter allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
-
-There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like ``to_hours``, ``to_minutes``, ``to_seconds``, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
-
-.. list-table:: Units
-   :widths: 25 25 25 25
-   :header-rows: 1
-
-   * - Unit name
-     - Unit value in seconds
-     - Unit strings for filter

-Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to ``to_time_unit`` and to all shorthand filters.

-Working with Unicode
----------------------
-
-`Unicode <https://unicode.org/main.html>`_ makes it possible to produce two strings which may be visually equivalent, but are comprised of distinctly different characters/character sequences. To address this ``Unicode`` defines `normalization forms <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ which avoid these distinctions by choosing a unique character sequence for a given visual representation.
