==Usage== | |||
This template is not to be called directly by an editor on various pages. If you look at the wiki markup for the above sample usage, it's actually: | |||
<nowiki>Imagine that this is a tutorial and we mention {{:chr_all_active}}, and then here is some other text.</nowiki> | |||
So if you want to see a variable listing, you transclude the text of the page for that variable. You'll notice that the default value for the variable at the time of level-load will pop up if you hover over the listing. | |||
The '''BSLvarinfo''' template is used on that variable's "personal" page, but even there it's only invoked indirectly by another template. If you click on the link behind the text "chr_all_active" above, then look at the markup for that page, you'll see that the information about a variable is being fed into a template. The end result is the output you see above. A full explanation of the system is at [[BSL:Grouping]], but the main thing you need to know is that you can enter the information about a variable by starting a page in its name, then either pasting in the template below, or clicking on the [[Image:Button_BSL_var.png]] button supplied in the toolbar by [[XEB]] and filling in the fields in the dialog that pops up. | |||

:You don't have to use these unless the variable is <u>not</u> available and working on one platform; set the appropriate parameter(s) to "no" if that is the case. | :You don't have to use these unless the variable is <u>not</u> available and working on one platform; set the appropriate parameter(s) to "no" if that is the case. | ||
==Starter text== | |||
Here is a blank call for the template, to save some time, but you may find it easier to use the GUI for this template that is provided by XEB. | |||
