The Wesnoth Markup Language
The Wesnoth Markup Language (WML) is used to code almost everything in Wesnoth, including scenarios, units, savefiles, and the user interface layout.
This page is a collection of pointers to different common WML structures. See AlphabeticalWML for a quick listing of all WML tags. The more comprehensive BuildingScenariosIndex lists tags and keys.
See BuildingScenarios, BuildingCampaigns, BuildingUnitsand CreatingNewUnits for a tutorial style overview.
