A <code style="color:darkgreen">town_names</code> block has one or more <code style="color:darkgreen"><part></code>s. Each part defines a piece of a town name. All pieces together form the name generated by the block.

An example of a part is:

{
text("name1", 1),
text("name2", 2),
town_names(othernames, 3)
}

The simplest form is just a list of <code style="color:darkgreen">text(...)</code>entries. Each entry contains a possible value of piece, and a probability of picking that name. The <code style="color:darkgreen">town_names(<name>, <probability>)</code>calls a previous <code style="color:darkgreen">town_names</code> block (called 'othernames' in the example), and returns the value generated there. A part should have at least one. At least up to 255 entries will always work. If a part contains even more entries, NML tries to make it fit by creating sub-blocks. If that fails, you will get an error.

The numbers are the probabilities. In the example, the sum of all values is 6, which means that <code style="color:darkgreen">name1</code> is picked with 1/6 chance, <code style="color:darkgreen">name2</code> has a 2/6 chance, and a name generated from the previous <code style="color:darkgreen">town_names</code> block has a 3/6 chance.
