Wikieducator tutorial/Pedagogical Templates/Template syntax

The syntax you use to include an iDevice template in your content is quite simple. You just surround the name of the template in curly braces like this:

To include the Objectives template in your content, for example, you would write:

(If you see don't worry. It will disappear when you add some content.)

You can include almost any wiki text you like inside your template. To add content into the template, begin by adding a pipe "|" (shift then \ on most keyboards) right after the template name, then your normal wiki text like this:

Don't forget to close it all off with double curly-braces. It will result in an iDevice like this:

{{Tip|When an iDevice immediately follows a section heading, the heading text may overflow into the display of the idevice. This is easily corrected by inserting the syntax for an extra line or carriage return.

Just insert the following syntax before the idevice, for example:

{Objectives| My objectives will go here: * one * two}}.
