-* Supports additional officers and rows as specified by the user.
+===New Features:===
-*'''OFFICER NAMES''' are written in the following format ('''similar to [[Template:Roster]] to make things easy. Just replace RANK with Tile'''):
+===Simplified format to add officers===
+No more messy code! Makes it easier to edit position names and preview them to see if they fit correctly!
 <pre>{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}</pre>
+For example, just add:
+<pre>{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|JaxxSmall.jpg}}</pre>
+to get the next officer's tile added to the nav.
+{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|JaxxSmall.jpg}}
-*If no last name, still place an extra | before specifying UNIFORM COLOR.
-*If no roster image, leave blank to get blank image. Example of both cases below:
-<pre>{{Tile|Single Name||UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST}}|</pre>
-* If officer has a LONG NAME, use '''NICKNAME=''' to specify shorter name for Crew Nav:
+====<font color=red>IMPORTANT NOTE:</font> Officers with Single Names====
-<pre>{{Tile|FIRST NAME|Last Name|NICKNAME=|UNIFORM COLOR|CURRENT POST|Roster Image}}</pre>
+If an officer only has a single name, be sure to still put an extra "pipe" character '''|''' after their name.
+<pre>{{Tile|T'Mar||Gold|Chief of Security|TMarSmall.jpg}}</pre>
+{{Tile|T'Mar||Gold|Chief of Security|TMarSmall.jpg}}
-'''Example:'''
+===Automatic placement of blank portrait===
+Places the [[:File:Roster-blank.jpg|blank portrait roster image]] if no roster image specified. Example:
+<pre>{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}</pre>
+{{Tile|M'Wash||Blue|Science Officer}}
+===Automatic resize of roster image===
+If an officer's roster image is too large for the nav, it will automatically crop and resize it to fit. Note that while this is a handy feature, it may not produce as nice an image as a properly prepared roster image.
+{{Tile|Andrus|Jaxx|Red|Commanding Officer|Jaxxhorse.jpg}}
+===Support for '''Nicknames/Abbreviations===
+If an officer's name is too long for the nav. Example:
 <pre>{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}</pre>
+{{Tile|Cassandra|Egan Manno|NICKNAME=C. Egan Manno|Red|Commanding Officer|Roster-eganmanno.jpg}}
+===Simplified color names===
+Use these names when specifying UNIFORM COLOR:
+'''<font color=maroon>Red</font>, <font color=darkgoldenrod>Gold</font>, <font color=steelblue>Blue</font>, <font color=teal>Teal</font>, <font color=purple>Violet</font>, <font color=black>Black</font>, <font color=dimgray>Silver</font>, <font color=darkgreen>Green</font>'''
+===No need to change colspan===
+Table automatically keeps header and footer centered.
+===Ship placeholder image===
+When you have an odd number of officers and more than 1 row, put a ship placeholder image with a link to your ship in the last row:
+<pre>{{Shiptile|SHIP PAGE|PLACEHOLDER IMAGE}}</pre>
+Example:
+<pre>{{Shiptile|USS Mercury|Roster-oracle.jpg}}</pre>
+{{Shiptile|USS Mercury|Roster-oracle.jpg}}
+===<font color=red>Abbreviations May Be Necessary</font>===
 * You may need to abbreviate the officer's '''CURRENT POST''' as well if his or her title is too long. Common abbreviations include:
 *Officer = Ofc.
