Many cards need linking back to the previous card. For example each card may have information about a specific subject within the deck, but all cards are accessed from the main card. To save on time in both writing the wml code, in download of each deck, a link can be created on each card using a template.

The template is positioned between the opening <wml> tag and the first card.

The template code is nested within <template> tags, and consists of a do command, written as a tag with a required type attribute describing what do performs, in this case prev for previous, and a label attribute which is displayed as a button at the bottom of each card in the deck. Keep the label to 6 characters or less, or it may not display. The label is activated by pressing an associated key on the wap device. Note the type attribute requires an additional single tag.

<template> <do type='prev' label='Back'> <prev/> </do> </template>

The template command can be cancelled on an individual card basis using a noop (no operation) command, which is positioned after the opening card tag but above the first paragraph tag in the card.

<do type='prev' label='Back'> <noop/> </do>
