Scoreboard and Tab Tokens
These tokens use <tag> syntax in tab/scoreboard.yml and tab list lines. ShyamDuels resolves them when rendering scoreboards and tab lists; PlaceholderAPI placeholders on the same line are processed afterward. Many tags mirror the %shyamduels_*% variables above.
Example from tab/scoreboard.yml:
yaml- ' <gray>Players:</gray> <white><ffa_players>[display=<is_ffa>]</white>'
The [display=<condition>] suffix hides the whole line when the condition is false (see Config Tokens below).
