Description:
Use the <templateCard> <keyword> to set up <default> <properties> to be used for any new <card(object)|cards> you create.

The <templateCard> can be thought of as a special, abstract <object>. It is not an actual <card(keyword)>, but it has all the <properties> of a <card(keyword)>. The <ID> <property> of the <templateCard> is zero.

You can use the <set> <command> to set the <properties> of the <templateCard> before creating a <card(keyword)>. The new <card(keyword)> has the <properties> of the <templateCard>, by <default>. Changing the <properties> of the <templateCard> does not affect existing <card(object)|cards>.

The properties of the <templateCard> can be returned to the default settings using the <reset> command.

You can refer to the <templateCard> using any of the following forms:
        templateCard
        the templateCard
        templateCard()

>*Note:* The <templateCard> <keyword> is implemented internally as a <function> and appears in the <functionNames>. However, it cannot be used as a <function> in an <expression>.
