Page templates

If every NPC page in your world has the same six headings, build it once and reuse it. Any wiki page can become a template.

Saving a page as a template

Right-click the page in the tree and choose More options….
Click Create Template.
Give it a name — it defaults to the page’s title.
Click Save.

The template captures the page’s contents as they stand, so tidy the page up first: strip out the specifics, keep the headings, the table skeletons, the empty meters.

Applying a template

Open the page you want to apply it to.
Right-click it, choose More options…, then Apply Template.
In the Templates dialog, set Apply mode.
Hover a template and click Apply. Preview shows you the contents first.

Apply modes

Replace page content — the template becomes the page. Anything already there is gone.
Append before existing content — the template goes in at the top, your writing stays below it.
Append after existing content — your writing stays put, the template lands underneath.

The two tabs

Your Templates — the ones you’ve saved.
Default Templates — the ones that ship with PostRoll, available to everyone.

Deleting a template

Hover a template in Your Templates and click Delete. It goes for good; pages you already applied it to are untouched.

Good templates to build

NPC sheet — appearance, voice, wants, secret, hooks, relationships.
Location page — a cover image slot, who runs it, what’s here, rumours, and an Index block listing subpages.
Session notes — date heading, what happened, loot, threads left dangling, a to-do list for next time.
Faction file — leadership, holdings, rivals, current goal, a meter for the party’s standing.
