Templates

This guide showcases many of the ways you can be more efficient when writing guides, whether that be through copy-able templates, code snippets or other tips.

​

It assumes you are using the PvME Guide Editor to write & live preview your guides.

​

Finding and using Templates

In the Guide Editor toolbar you will see a "Template" dropdown, containing starting points for our main guide types:

⬥ Boss Guide

⬥ AFK Guide

⬥ Slayer Guide

⬥ Command Embed

​

Simply click "copy" and paste these into the editor to get started on your guide, as in the screenshot below:

​

Finding emojis

There are two ways to find an emoji:

1. In the Guide Editor, simply start typing :emojiname ‎and it will bring up a list - select the one you want

2. Search the full repository of emojis at https://pvme.io/pvme-settings/#emojis

​

Linking items to the Wiki

Many of our guides link items and gear to the RS Wiki. Follow these steps:

⬥ Use the pattern: [Item name](<http://runescape.wiki/w/Item_name>) <:emoji:>​

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Wrap the URL in <> ‎to prevent it showing a preview

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Most items only capitalise the first word

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Replace spaces with underscores

⬥ Test your URL in the guide editor by clicking on it

​

See the following example:

​[Channeller's ring](<http://runescape.wiki/w/Channeller's_ring>) <:channellersring:839903943404027914>​

→ Channeller's ring

​

Using Embeds

Sometimes we use a special Discord "embed" to format messages in a pretty way - these are written in JSON. When inside a JSON, common punctuation like bullets or new lines will not work as normal; use the following to achieve what you are looking for:

​

⬥ \n → adds a new line

⬥ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 = adds a new line + 4 spaces

⬥ \n⬥ → adds a new line + a bullet

⬥ \n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0• → adds a new line + 4 spaces + a sub-bullet

⬥ \n\u200B → adds a blank line

​

A example embed can be seen below:

​

..
{
  "embed": {
    "title": "__[embed title]__",
    "description": "[embed description]\n\u200B",
    "color": 39423,
    "fields": [
      {
        "name": "__[field 1 name]__",
        "value": "[field 1 contents]"
      },
      {
        "name": "__[field 2 name]__",
        "value": "⬥ Field 2 contents\n⬥ Field 2 contents"
      }
    ]
  }
}
..embed:json

​

When rendered, the above code looks like the following;
