To use any of these templates from a wiki page, please see the individual template pages for documentation. To generate userboxes directly from Lua, read on.
Generating userboxes from Lua
To generate a userbox directly from Lua, first load the module.
local userbox = require('Module:Userbox')
You can then run any of the three templates with the code:
userbox.main(functionName, args)
For {{userbox}} use the function name "_userbox"; for {{userbox-2}} use the function name "_userbox-2"; and for {{userbox-r}} use the function name "_userbox-r". The args parameter is a table of arguments to pass to the different userbox functions. To see a list of valid arguments, please consult the individual template pages.
