Help:Gadget-Easy LST
Easy LST is a Gadget which helps simplify the syntax for Labelled Section Transclusion (LST).
This gadget is enabled by default.
LST syntax
editNatively (without this gadget), Labelled Section Transclusion looks like this in the Wikitext:
<section begin="s1" />
Section 1 Text
<section end="s1" />
<section begin="s2" />
Section 2 Text
<section end="s2" />
If the start and end tags do not match, the page may not transclude correctly. Easy Section Syntax handles the tag open and closing and changes the syntax to:
## s1 ##
Section 1 Text
## s2 ##
Section 2 Text
This makes it much less likely the tags are mis-matched, which can cause silent transclusion errors.
Configuration
editBy default, the Easy Section Syntax gadget is enabled. You can turn it of full in your gadget preferences, or you can selectively disable it though the configuration method.
You can configure the Easy Section Syntax gadget using the easy_section_syntax.config
hook and passing a configuration object.
Example
edit{
// Disable Easy Section Syntax on DNB pages
var use_easy_ss_on_this_page = !mw.config.get("wgTitle").startsWith("Dictionary of National Biography");
var easySectionSyntaxConfig = {
enabled: use_easy_ss_on_this_page,
};
// send configuration
mw.hook("easy_section_syntax.config").fire(easySectionSyntaxConfig);
}
There are the following options that you can pass into the configuration hook:
enabled
: set to false to disable the gadgetdebug
: set to true to output some extra logging
