The toplist syntax itself is simple (you must place a file called yourtoplistname.tpl in the sloth_toplist/ directory). For simplicity, lets call it toplist.tpl (Sloth generates the html page to include from this template)
<li>%TRADELINK1%</li>
<li>%TRADELINK2%</li>
<li>%TRADELINK3%</li>
etc...
To include it:
php
<?php include("sloth_toplist/toplist.html"); ?>
ssi
<!--#include file="sloth_toplist/toplist.html" -->
edit: don't forget to login to your admin and tell it what your toplist name is (you'll see some existing ones called toplist1 and toplist2) but do NOT include the .tpl extension.
