Template:DLog/doc

DLog formats a single in-character "D's LOG" lore entry — a styled line giving a subject's name and a "bypass state" description, used for boss/entity lore on dungeon pages.

Overview

This template prints one stylised log line in the form [D's <type> LOG: <subject>] BYPASS STATE: <text>, wrapped in a dlog styled box. It is the recurring "data log" flavour element used across dungeon/boss pages such as Anubis Lair, Abyss Of Demons, Aurora Sanctum and Celestial's Province: Part 1 to reveal (or redact, with ???) lore about each boss.

Parameters

Parameter	Required?	What it does	Example
1 (first unnamed)	Optional in practice	The "log type" word shown between D's and LOG. In current usage this is left blank, giving [D's LOG: ...]. Provide a word to label the log.	(usually empty)
2 (second unnamed)	Required	The subject of the log — typically the boss/entity name shown after LOG:.	Kurvaros
3 (third unnamed)	Required	The "BYPASS STATE" text — the lore body, or ??? / Collecting Data... when redacted.	???

How to use

1. The three values are positional (unnamed), separated by |, in this order: log type, subject, bypass-state text. 2. In nearly all live uses the first value is left empty — note the double pipe right after the template name:

[D̷̛͖̲̜̤̭̤̬̏͑́̌̇̽͛̊́̕̚͜'s LOG: Kurvaros] BYPASS STATE:  ???

. The empty slot is the log type. 3. Put the entity/boss name as the second value. 4. Put the lore (or a redaction placeholder like ??? or Collecting Data...) as the third value. Long prose is fine here. 5. Because the values are positional, do not skip a pipe — every entry needs all three slots even if the first is blank.

Copy this

{{DLog||subject|bypass state text}}

Example

[D̷̛͖̲̜̤̭̤̬̏͑́̌̇̽͛̊́̕̚͜'s LOG: Valerion] BYPASS STATE: In a kingdom ravaged by eternal night, the Voided King raised a single knight out of the rust to protect the fading light that remained.

{{DLog||Valerion|In a kingdom ravaged by eternal night, the Voided King raised a single knight out of the rust to protect the fading light that remained.}}

Tips & notes

• The leading double pipe (||) is intentional — it leaves the log-type slot empty, which is how every current page uses it. If you supply a first value, it appears as [D's <value> LOG: ...].
• The "D" in the output is rendered with heavy combining/glitch characters by the template; you do not type those yourself.
• For unrevealed lore the convention is to use ??? (or Collecting Data...) as the third value.
• Parameters 2 and 3 are required by the template's source (they use {{{2}}} / {{{3}}} with no default); omitting them shows the raw {{{2}}}/{{{3}}} placeholder text.
