  34. There are five potential blocks to an ability file, in order: Syntaxes,
  35. Costs, Effects, Description, and Notes. The style guide goes block by
  36. block. When multiple fields are
  37. contained in the same block (power AND outlay costs, for instance), they
  38. should be displayed in the order presented in the examples.
  39.  
  40. Syntax Block
  41. ------------
  42. -Begins "Syntax: FIRST SYNTAX", with additional syntaxes indented to
  43. match the first character of the first syntax.
  44. -ALL CAPS for entered commands
  45. -<required input>
  46. -[Optional flag|second optional flag|<optional input>]
  47. -Primary syntaxes (STAGFORM, DRAWDOWN, etc.) should be listed first,
  48. remaining syntaxes in alphabetical order.
  49.  
  50. Cost Block
  51. ----------
  52. -Multiple costs of the same type (power, outlay, or cooldowns) should be
  53. indented inwards to align with previous entries, as in the example.
  54. Numerals align right.
  55. -Primary syntax costs first, after which costs should be in the same
  56. order as their syntaxes, each separate cost on a new, indented line as
  57. shown in the example.
  58. -Power costs should make clear what (Type) of power is required, when
  59. applicable. Unaligned power costs should be left blank, but still align
  60. with aspected power costs, as shown.
  61.  
  62. Effects Block
  63. -------------
  64. -Capitalize all type names.
  65. -Delimit effects with commas any time there is more than one type of effect
  66. of a sort.
  67. -Sort damage types by descending percentage first, alphabetically
  68. second.
  69. -Sort ten-level effects by ascending power, ascending cap within that
  70. power rating, and then alphabetically.
  71. -Sort vitals effects in H/M/E order.
  72.  
  73. Description Block
  74. -----------------
  75. -Precede this block with two line breaks.
  76. -Follow syntax formatting when referring directly to a syntax, for
  77. clarity.
  78.  
  79. Notes Block
  80. -----------
  81. -This block is for any necessary OOC notes. Use infrequently, and with
  82. care.
