{{Rich Farmbrough/ISBN/Template:Auto isbn}} is called this way,

a. Suppose we have a 10 digit ISBN 0-593-01518-5

{{auto isbn|0|5|9|3|0|1|5|1|8|0-593-01518}}

b. Suppose we have a 13 digit ISBN 978-0-593-01518-6

{{auto isbn|0|5|9|3|0|1|5|1|8|0-593-01518}}

Up to 1 January 2007 this will display

ISBN 0-593-01518-5

Afterwards as

ISBN 978-0-593-01518-6

Clearly this would be tedious and error prone to do by hand so most uses of the template are expected to be set up by automated or semi-automated processes.
