Module:Illustration

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Illustration/doc

-- This is meant to be a way to reference and use the illustrations in the game easily on the wiki and inside other templates.
-- No idea what I'm doing really, and need a break, so just leaving whatever this is here for now.

-- Almost 1500 lines, probably want to split into categories for more specific functions to use efficiently?

-- Syntax borrowed from modules this one is emulating.
-- Commenting out for use later ##local ssub = string.sub

-- Currently just trying to get this to output all entries for a key into a readable string, to test the basics work.

	-- Next function planned will convert displayName to dataName first. More useful for humans.
