LifeWiki:LifeViewer cheatsheet for LifeWiki articles/Galleries

Main article: LifeWiki:LifeViewer cheatsheet for LifeWiki articles

If a caption below the pattern does not fit on a single line, the vertical size of the box containing the viewer increases. When possible, it is better to keep captions in galleries short, and put more detailed explanations / descriptions of the patterns in the surrounding text.

Explanation

The above example is formatted using templates {{gallery item}}, {{gallery top}}, {{gallery bottom}} in the following way,

Example of a gallery:
{{gallery top}}
{{gallery item|viewer}}
{{gallery item|viewer}}
{{gallery item|viewer}}
{{gallery item|viewer}}
{{gallery item|viewer}}
{{gallery bottom}}

where each occurrence of "viewer" is replaced by an invocation of the {{EmbedViewer}} template. Viewers in this example are formatted as follows:

{{EmbedViewer
|rle          = (paste RLE here)
|viewerconfig = #C [[ HEIGHT 500 WIDTH 600 THUMBSIZE 4 ZOOM 40 ]]
|position     = center
|caption      = (displayed caption)
|style        = width:100px;
}}
