[[TrainzOnline:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]
- usage
This template forms an internal link to the TranzOnline pages with parameter {{{1}}}, and incorporates an option to access a sub-sub-page given the optional 3rd default parameter: {{{3}}} as well allowing for as an optional pretty-link re-title parameter '2' allowing {{{2}}} and/or '|3=sub-page/' formatted link calls ... all forming the link and all links in the wiki-markup as:
-
[[TrainzOnline:{{{3|}}}{{{1}}}|{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}]] - Users unfamiliar with wiki-markup parameter parsing, just focus on {{{2}}} or '|2=text' overriding the presented text of the link,
- and {{{3}}}/ or '|3=sub-sub-linktext/' giving a prefix to a sub-sub-page, so {{{3}}},
- if and when given, MUST HAVE a trailing '/' to form a proper link.
Example-1, expanded paste down:
- This is because all template default parameters, formally 'numbered parameters' can also be specified like this:
{{TL
|1=Tips And Tricks
|2=Tips
}}
which wiki-markup language is processed exactly
the same as {{TL |Tips And Tricks |Tips }}.
- caution
When using a template such as this which forms a link, it is best to NOT use spaces between the pipe characters "|" as done for clarity above.

Trainz User Tip: |
In-line Examples:
- {{TL|Tips And Tricks}} links as:
[[Trainz/Tips And Tricks|Tips And Tricks]]and the other formulation:[[/Tips And Tricks|Tips And Tricks]]both would.
- But... is much easier to edit around on a page when trying to get the best prose presentation.
- Similarly:
{{TL|Tips And Tricks|Tricks}}links as if the constructs:[[TrainzOnline/Tips And Tricks|Tricks]]and[[/Tips And Tricks|Tricks]]which is perhaps part of the phrase you want. (This version may not yet work on TrainzOnline)
- Sub-subpage links will mainly be needed in the forthcoming Error fixing series of tutorials and the Programmed Instruction (Trainz A-Z) linked progressive tutorials off their own sub-TOC base page.
- Planned use of Sub-sub-pages... Better than splitting the book down the multiple tracks... we're going to make a lot of new pages in the PI tutorials! Whether for beginners or intermediate Trainzers, they'll all end in content creation and other advanced topics like TransDEM map generation anyway.
