In the LSL Portal area of the wiki there are several templates in use for standardizing appearance and making editing easier. 在这个维基的LSL脚本接口区域里，有几个使用标准外观的模板，使您的编辑更容易。

In addition to these template there are many class specific templates. These templates inject blocks of common content into the articles that share something in common, be it a parameter with common restrictions or common functionality. 除了这些模板有很多类的特定模板。这些模板把常见的内容模块注入到共同分享共同的东西的文章里，无论是共同的限制还是通用的功能参数。

General Templates

There are several universal templates, the most used template names are short for ease of typing.

Name	Description	example
{{LSLC|category|sort}}	Adds a page to a group Use instead of [[Category:LSL name|name]] sort is optional.
{{LSLGC|category|text}}	Links to a LSL Category Use instead of [[:Category:LSL category|text]] if text is omitted then it defaults to category	{{LSLGC|Math/3D|3D Math Functions}} 3D Math Functions {{LSLGC|Math}} Math
{{HoverText|word|description}}	When you move the cursor over this it shows a box containing description.	{{HoverText|monkeys|A species of mammal}} monkeys
{{LSL_Header}}	Used for pages that don't use a template that includes it. Like categories and this page.	{{LSL Header}}
{{LSL_Hex|hex|int}}	A HoverText for hex showing the int with a short standard description. If int is excluded or empty, then int is calculated from hex.	{{LSL Hex|0x100|256}} 0x100 {{LSL Hex|0x100}} 0x100
{{!}}	Used instead of a | for when embedding them in templates parameters.	{{!}} |
{{=}}	Used instead of a = for when you need a text equals sign that cannot interfere with templates parameters.	{{=}} =

Embedding Tables

One of the weaknesses in MediaWiki is the difficulty in embedding tables as parameters for templates. There are a few ways around this.

1. Write the table in HTML using <table> & </table>, <tr> & </tr>, <th> & </th>, <td> & </td> tags. If you go this route you must close your tags properly (or MediaWiki will do strange things).
2. Use MediaWiki syntax for tables and replace every occurrence (not being used as a template separator) of '|' with '{{!}}'
3. Wrap the table with <div></div> tags (doesn't always work).

• Note that you may need to play with the whitespace to get MediaWiki to display it properly.

Functions

Besides the general templates there is only one function specific template.

Template:LSL Function
This template provides a structure to write the functions documentation over; it includes several sections.

Some things to keep in mind:

• Please do not remove information.
• Order of template variables does not matter.
• Most variables if not set will cause the applicable section to hide (not all sections hide).
• Unused variables do not need to be included but it is better to not removed unused variables to aid future editors.
• Please head all messages generated by the template.
• If you think a section should be added please add it to LSL Function Style (and they will shortly be added to the template) or place a comment on Template_talk:LSL Function.

Please refer to LSL_Function for a detailed explanation of it's syntax and attributes.

Events

Besides the general templates there is only one event specific template.

LSL_Event This template provides a structure to write the event documentation over; it includes several sections. Unused sections are typically hidden from view.

Please refer to LSL_Event for a detailed explanation of its syntax and attributes.

Constants

There is only one constant specific template.

LSL_Constant This template provides a structure to write constant documentation over; it includes several sections. Unused sections are typically hidden from view.
