From Create Your Own Story

The genie nods. "A page with a status indicator looks very similar to any other page, but with an added line of code." He summons an image:

Do you:
*[[Adventure/Option 1]]
*[[Adventure/Option 2]]
*[[Adventure/Option 3]]

{{Status|Equipment=''Equipment''|Health=#|MP=#|Level=#}}


[[Category: name of story you're working on]]

"On a page, the syntax will look like this:"

Do you:

Status
Health # Equipment:

Pink Dildo

MP #
Level #



Category: name of story you're working on

The genie continues, "This is what a status indicator looks like without the magic."

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#LLCLL" valign="top" width="100%" colspan="3"> <b>Status</b>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#OOFOO" valign="top" width="8%"> Health
</td><td bgcolor="#DDFDD" valign="top" width="8%"> #
</td><td bgcolor="#GGFGG" valign="top" width="84%" rowspan="3"> Equipment:
<p><i>Equipment</i>
</p>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#OOFOO" valign="top"> MP
</td><td bgcolor="#DDFDD" valign="top"> {{{MP}}}
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#OOFOO" valign="top"> Level
</td><td bgcolor="#DDFDD" valign="top"> #
</td></tr></table>

"Although this may look complicated I can show you how to manipulate the parts that really matter." The rest leave the same unless you are REALLY good at coding.

Use the format as above to create a new template using double braces "{"
{{Sample Template}}
will look like . Rename it and create the template page.

</td><td bgcolor="#DDFDD"[1] valign="top" width="8%"> # [4]
