Of course you do, LuaGaia is a separate lua environment - which is why maps should use it exclusively. Just because other maps / older maps don;t doesn't mean people should continue to.
The problem is that, last time I checked, LuaGaia was severly limited compared to LuaRules. Has it been changed?

gajop: I know.
Imo it is personal preference and not so important.
Often I do the if ( ) because imo it helps recognizes conditions faster when scrolling.
When it is just check for nil or similiar,

then I tend to leave the ( ) out.
Imo focus is not on Lua but on "Spring Lua".
Teaching Lua itself is out of scope for such texts and such stylistic details even more so.
I will try to maintain some constant style but imo just not so important here.
Except I will try to write in "easy and elaborate" so no "tricks" like
Imo the f%10 is already bit "tricky" for such basic level tutorial but it is some commonly used in spring...

some use speakingNamed functions for tutorials even though they are not as effective

I also want to add .. it could be better without that gradient on the code snippets and maybe syntax highlighting. (don't hit me).

gradient in color or difficulty? about look of wiki can not do much. syntax highlighting might come if wiki gets updated , would be nice. Think for oneliners/short pieces one can do without and ideally the reader has whole script in own editor anyway...
