## Tutorial
|

|
|
|

|
At its most basic, `tbls` selects a random element from a table.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Suppose you have a few tables:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
:: suit
|
||
|
|
Hearts
|
||
|
|
Bells
|
||
|
|
Whistles
|
||
|
|
Cups
|
||
|
|
Knives
|
||
|
|
Shovels
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:: card
|
||
|
|
Ace
|
||
|
|
One
|
||
|
|
Two
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
Ten
|
||
|
|
Eleven
|
||
|
|
Twelve
|
||
|
|
Thief
|
||
|
|
Queen
|
||
|
|
King
|
||
|
|
Beast
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`tbls` might return "Whistles" from suit.
|
||
|
|
Or "Twelve" from card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But wait there's more.
|
||
|
|
`tbls` will also expand macros found in table entries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's add another table:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
:: draw
|
||
|
|
[card] of [suit]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you place the name of a table in `[squarebrackets]`,
|
||
|
|
then `tbls` views that as a placeholder
|
||
|
|
for a random item from that table.
|
||
|
|
And it will expand the text.
|
||
|
|
So this might end up being "Thief of Shovels"
|
||
|
|
or "Twelve or Cups".
