The Example Template
The Example template looks ugly with only the code inside of it, I'd suggest you add an explanation of the code in it. But you can leave it like that if you want, it's just a suggestion.

- Really? I personally like it (although I do notice that most other writers don't). I'll think about an alternative because I think that the code and output template looks ugly just bare. I'll do some experimentation
- I think it just looks silly. If you think the code and output template looks ugly on its own, then try and make it better, rather than always wrapping it in another template. To me, the {{example}} template is just pointless clutter if all it contains is one bit of code.
- Well, I just like having the obvious distinction on examples (even though 99% of the code on the wiki is in an example). Perhaps a different border? I don't know. Web design is definitely not my thing.

Comments
What you call an one line comments is actually a short comment, and what you call a multiline comment is actually a long comment. These are the official names, used by the Lua Reference Manual (see this page). I just thought it would be a good idea to tell you.

- Ah, thank you.
- No problem. I was just reading the guide and decided to suggest some improvements. Also, just so you know, comments with no equal signs between the brackets are still leveled comments, and they are actually of level 0. Same thing with strings, as they both use long brackets. As long as there is a long bracket implied, there is a level implied too. But.. since it's just a guide, you don't really need to get extremly technical. It's just good to teach them the right words so, later, in the forums, we don't end up with 50 different ways of saying things when there's actually an official one defined by the reference manual. :P 21 February 2012
- Thank you, again again. I'm going to read the beginning parts of the reference manual (because I just learned how to use the basics, none of the technical details), to make sure that the terminology is correct.
