Hi Strife....the term is "deprecated", not "depreciated". See "Deprecation" in Wikipedia -- Rob Linden 16:37, 27 January 2007 (PST)

I was wondering about that. I'll change the template (it's handled in the template).Strife Onizuka 16:42, 27 January 2007 (PST)

I'm still learning the ins and outs of MediaWiki, so these templates are moving along.Strife Onizuka 17:25, 27 January 2007 (PST)

Excellent work on the templates. The pages look really good! -- Rob Linden 18:38, 27 January 2007 (PST)

It's amazing what can be done with good documentation. MediaWiki is gold (just wish it was 1.9.x).

I was considering making some generic templates for function definition pages. Hasn't happened yet. And still have to make the templates for events.

And I made a bit of a mess of the Template namespace (you can delete the redirecting pages). Getting out of the habit of using CamelCase is tough ~_~ Strife Onizuka 18:59, 27 January 2007 (PST)

Great to see your contributions, Strife. Thanx for building up this resource. --Torley Linden 14:25, 30 January 2007 (PST)

Template magic needed

Hi Strife: great work on the wiki so far. When you get a chance, could you take a look at Template:LSL conformance test and Template:LSL conformance script, which were created for adding our conformance suite? See LSL llGetUnixTime test for an example. I'm mainly looking for help making sure that the interface is sensible (i.e. the template parameter list makes sense and the general structure makes sense). The formatting can wait. The idea is to get these stabilized, and that will provide us a mechanism for those of us at LL to consolidate our tests, and for the community to chip in if desired. -- Rob Linden 22:46, 7 February 2007 (PST)

function & generic template

Are you planning on putting something in your templates for constants used by that function or event? Anthony Reisman

There is, just set 'constants' equal to a table. Checkout llDetectedType. Strife Onizuka 13:24, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Ok, I wasn't sure if you were making a general table template or something. Sorry, I'm still new at wiki formatting. I didn't want to just edit if we working on a standard for the pages.--Anthony Reisman 11:24, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Templates for tables are very difficult to make and not very useful. By the time you have populated the template with information you have done more work then it would have been just to make the table by hand. Strife Onizuka 11:28, 9 February 2007 (PST)

In the example that you used, I noticed it was a template, which is why I wondered. I'll figure out how to make a table, and just stick it in the page I'm editing. Also, where do I find the list of all the templates used? I found the unused templates, but didn't find the a list of all. Again, sorry for the silly questions. I'm picking wiki up as I go.

An inline example you can find on llParcelMediaCommandList. Strife Onizuka 11:56, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Thanks! That was exactly where I was going to put it in. Back to my other question. How to I find all the templates and template names we'll use. I can use the examples from other pages, but it might be nice to look at all the templates we have available. Thanks again! Anthony Reisman 12:14, 9 February 2007 (PST)

Really isn't a big list of LSL templates yet. The ones I use and wrote are:

Name	Description
Template:LSL Header	The bit at the top of the page, you need it if your page isn't using 'LSL Function', 'LSL Event', or 'LSL Conditional'.
Template:LSLG	Used for links to any LSL_* page
Template:LSLGC	Used to link to categories that start LSL_*
Template:LSLC	Used to add a page to a category to which the category name starts LSL_*. This template also tries to figure out the sort value needed.
Template:LSL Hex	Used for hex values.
Template:LSL Hex/Parse	Template used to convert hex literals into integers. Doesn't work just yet.
Template:LSL Function	Template used for function pages
Template:LSL Event	Template used for event pages
Template:LSL Conditional	Template used for flow control pages
Template:LSL Generic	Parent Template of 'LSL Function', 'LSL Event', or 'LSL Conditional'. It is the template that does the heavy lifting, it also has a couple sub templates that handles some of the intersting stuff required for the child templates.
Template:LSL Generic/Text	Sub template for the making the text of the first box of text.
Template:LSL Generic/Title	Sub template for the making the title of the first box of text.

re: Talk:LSL Function Style

I apologise if anything I've said has offended you personally- accessibility is something of a sore point to me.

LSL markup

Have we got LSL syntax highlight yet? If not what's the holdup? Anyone know? Gigs Taggart 15:38, 11 February 2007 (PST)
