Examples

This text is on a card named linking to or including card names by context+example. So,

[[_self+deeper example]] results in a link to:

contextual card names+example+deeper example

 

(This should read linking to or including card names by context+example+deeper example - this is a known bug.

 

[[_left+discussion]] links to:

contextual card names+discussion

 

(This should read linking to or including card names by context+discussion - this is a known bug.)

 

{{formatting+_right|closed}} includes, in a closed view:

formatting+example    

Here's the whole Recipe type form:

Preparation time: {{+preparation time|display:inline}}

Serves: {{+serves|display:inline}}

 

{{+ingredients|open}}

 

Preparation

 

{{+preparation}}

Tags: {{+tags}}

 

Comments

 

{{+discussion|closed}}

It includes plus cards for information relevant to any recipe: preparation and cook time, number served, ...

In inclusions — but not links — The current user is available in a similar way with _user, so:

{{_user|closed}} includes the home card of whatever user is signed in:

Anonymous    

This is the account credited with edits for anyone not signed in.

 

How To

In links and inclusions, _self refers to the enclosing card's full name. If the enclosing card is a plus card, _left refers to the left side of the card's name (everything up to the last +), and _right refers to the right side of the card name (everything after the last +).

In inclusions only, _user refers to whatever user is signed in (this does not work in links).

Tips

• _self, _left and _right are particularly useful in forms.
• _user makes it possible to provide a customizable card in the sidebar for each user, by including something like _user+sidebar in *sidebar.
• These terms can be used for some very powerful effects in regular web addresses - see contextual generation of web addresses.
• In the context of virtual cards, _self refers to the left side of the card's name. For example, in the context of wiki+Coopetitors with tag the _self (in Coopetitors with tag+*rform) refers to wiki, not to wiki+Coopetitors with tag.
