Template documentation (for the template shown above, sometimes hidden or invisible)

Info

Main template to create a Game-Menu(GM) bar.

Currently supporting up to 6 names. (Anonymous parameters.)

Using a leading '$' character to target the used menu, or menu-item, hot-key. (Only one '$' per name.)

Includes general Legacy support.

Usage

Normal: {{GM|string1|string2|..|string6}}

Copy: {{GM|copy=<pagename>}} -- Use the GM from an other page. (Limitation: Target page to copy from can only have one GM call on it.)

Inline: {{GM|inline=|...}} -- Inline mode vs default block mode.

Example

Leading and trailing string spaces in examples here are for clarity.

{{GM| $Menu-name 1 | Menu-$name 2 | Menu-nam$e 3 | Menu-name $4| Menu Item-name 5}}

Output: Menu-name 1 > Menu-name 2 > Menu-name 3 > Menu-name 4 > Menu Item-name 5

or

{{GM

| $Menu Item 1

| Menu $Item 2

| Menu Ite$m 3

| Menu Item $4

| Menu Item 5

}}

Output:

Menu Item 1 > Menu Item 2 > Menu Item 3 > Menu Item 4 > Menu Item 5
