Module:IncrementParams

-- STEP 1: Click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page to edit this module.

-- STEP 2: if you want to increment by a number other than 1, put that number below, after the equals sign. local increment = 1

-- STEP 3: Replace the example template text with the template text that you wish to increment. local templatetext = [==========[ ]==========]
 * header3 = Section 1
 * label5  = Label A
 * data5   = Data A
 * label7  = Label C
 * data7   = Data C
 * header10 = Section 2
 * label12 = Label D
 * data12  = Data D

-- STEP 4: Save this module.

-- STEP 5: You can now output the incremented text with the following code: --               main -- Or you can simply copy and paste the text from this module's documentation.

-- STEP 6: Check the output! In rare cases this module might produce false positives. -- For example, it will change the text "foo3=bar" to "foo4=bar". -- You can use the "show changes" function in the edit window of the template you are editing -- to find any false positives.

-- STEP 7: When you are finished, undo your changes to this page, so that the next person -- won't be confused by seeing any non-default values. Thanks for using this module!
