Editing Module:Sports table/Chess/doc (section)

===Basic usage===

In its simplest form only several parameters need to be used to build a table.
{| class="wikitable" style="background:white;"
|-
|'''What you type'''
|<syntaxhighlight lang=moin>{{#invoke:Sports table|main|style=Chess

|team1=AAA |team2=BBB |team3=CCC |team4=DDD |team5=CAR

|name_AAA=[[Grandmaster (chess)|Grandmaster]]
|name_BBB=Team 2
|name_CCC=Team 3
|name_DDD=Team 4
|name_CAR={{flagathlete|[[Fabiano Caruana]]|USA}}
}}</syntaxhighlight>
|-
|'''What it looks like'''
|{{#invoke:Sports table|main|style=Chess

|team1=AAA |team2=BBB |team3=CCC |team4=DDD |team5=CAR

|name_AAA=[[Grandmaster (chess)|Grandmaster]]
|name_BBB=Team 2
|name_CCC=Team 3
|name_DDD=Team 4
|name_CAR={{flagathlete|[[Fabiano Caruana]]|USA}}
}}
|}
The main command is the <nowiki>{{#invoke:Sports table|main|style=Chess}}</nowiki> statement which calls the module with the Chess style and enables you to set everything up. Then you list the positions of the teams as {{para|team1}}, {{para|team2}}, etc for however many teams you need in the table. You can use full team names there <u>without spaces</u> as the team codes if you want, but using short codes (as in the example) can make it easier. For each team, you now define the {{para|name_TTT}} parameters (with TTT replaced by the team code) which determine what name is shown in the table; you can use wiki markup and templates in here as well, as shown in the example. The points and wins will default to 0 if no match data is provided. See [[#Points]] to see how to provide this data. See [[#Footer options]] and [[#Dating]] to see how to change the source and update date.
