Module:Documentation
From Zoophilia Wiki
This module displays a box containing documentation for templates, Lua modules and other pages. The {{Documentation}} template invokes it.
Normal usage
For most uses, you should use the {{Documentation}} template; please see that template's page for its usage instructions and parameters.
Use in other modules
To use this module from another Lua module, first load it with require:
local documentation = require('Module:Documentation').main
Then you can simply call it using a table of arguments.
documentation{content = 'Some documentation', ['link box'] = 'My custom link box'}
Please refer to the template documentation for usage instructions and a list of parameters.
Porting to other wikis
The module has a configuration file at Module:Documentation/config which is intended to allow easy translation and porting from Wikipedia to other wikis. Please see the code comments in the config page for instructions. If you have any questions, or you need a feature which is not currently implemented, please leave a message at Template talk:Documentation to get the attention of a developer.
