Templatery

The templatery plugin offers the ability to write a template, and have it included in other pages with filled in fields.

Defining a template is very simple:

<template example>

This starts a new template. The template can optionally have a name ('example' in this case).

Hello, my name is: @@name@@

A piece of text with a field called 'name'.

<if organisation>
I'm a member of @@organisation@@.
</if>

A conditional piece of text. If the field 'organisation' is present, this will be displayed. If the field is not defined, the whole piece won't be used.

</template>

Finishes the template.

The template will end up looking like this:

You use the template with

{{template>wiki:templatery#example|name=Brend|organisation=University of Twente}}

This tells the wiki to use the template wiki:templatery#example.

If you do not have a full name, but something like {{template>test}} the wiki will look in the template namespace for the template.

Looks like this

Hello, my name is: Brend

I'm a member of University of Twente.

A template can have both named and numbered parameters.

Parameters can be numbered:

0 = Alpha , 1 = beta

You can freely mix numbered and named parameters.

Parameters can be numbered:

Alpha & Default value for b

You can have conditional pieces of template:

With A set

Text if a is set. a = Alpha

With A unset

Text if a is not set. a =

Conditionals will be block-level if possible and will switch to inline if necessary.

This is useful, for example, if you have them in a list item.

You can force a conditional to be inline by prefixing it with a *.

• Test with strawberries

Some tomato value of B.

You can include a template in a template. This allows you to reuse templates.

If you dot this, you use {{template>name of template|inside=outside}}. The variables assignments are used to remap variables from outside the template to inside the template. Any variable not mentioned is available under it's old name.

0 = Alpha

0 = Beta

0 = Gamma

0 = Delta
