==Using templates to manage links more easily== | |||
As you can see the templates significantly reduce the information noise, and are easier to handle than the full URLs. This should also help avoid typos. | |||

==Tips== | |||
===How to colour text?=== | |||
Use the {{m|colour}} template to colour text, this way you can avoid having to use <tt><nowiki><font color=...>...</font></nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki><span style="color:...;>...</span></nowiki></tt>, e.g. | |||
{{m|colour|blue|blah blah blah}} -> HTML colour name used to colour "{{colour|blue|blah blah blah}}" blue. | |||
{{m|colour|#FF8000|oink oink oink}} -> HTML colour code used to colour "{{colour|#FF8000|oink oink oink}}" orange. | |||
{{eyecatchLight|Note|"Manually" colouring text is actually *not* recommended style-wise, but if you really need to colour text the template should help.}} | |||
{{eyecatch|Note|The template has problems colouring more than one line, i.e. several paragraphs, so be sure to double-check its usage.}} | |||
===Use of <nowiki><br></nowiki>=== | |||
* Empty lines in the Wiki code do *not* require a <tt><nowiki><br></nowiki></tt> at the end of the previous paragraph, i.e. | |||
blah<nowiki><br></nowiki> | |||
more blah | |||
is redundant, remove the <tt><nowiki><br></nowiki></tt>: | |||
blah | |||
more blah | |||
