Useful Syntax

List

When multiple cards is available, use list:

- Unordered List: use dash if card have similar priority. For example

- Item a

(line break here)

- Item b

(line break here)

- Item c

- Numbered Ordered List (1, 2, 3...): for card with different priority. For example:

1. Item 1

(line break here)

2. Item 2

(line break here)

3. Item 3

Insert double page break like example above between list item, so it will display as single page break in display.

Insert card thumbail with link

Instead of maintain an up-to-date database, YGOCounter use link to card info on Yugipedia. Yugipedia is a wonderful website, making by the wonderful team. To link to Yugipedia thumbail, use the below syntax:

{{yugipedia|name-of-the-card}}

or shorcut

{{y|name-of-the-card}}

Example: Dark Magician Dark Magician
