-The inventory [[File:ellipsis.png]] button brings up the merchant inventory selection screen. This screen is similar to the inventory screen used by the [[creature]] or [[placeable]] editors, with a list of all available items that can be placed in the merchant's inventory to the left and a list of all the items currently in the merchant's inventory to the right. It defaults to the "item palette" selection mode, which shows items in the same subfolder arrangement that they appear in the resource palette. It can also be set to the "store panel" selection mode, which groups all items into the general categories that they would appear in when in the merchant's inventory. This can be useful if you've got (for example) armor items scattered through several different folders of your palette or mixed in with other item types in the same folder, but you want to pick from all available armor items to stock the merchant's inventory.

 The merchant's inventory table has the following columns:
 *Label - shows items' resource name, followed by the name shown to the player in parenthesis
-*Subgroup{{undocumented}}
+*Subgroup - {{undocumented}}
 *Stack size - the number of copies of this item that the merchant has.
 *Infinite - a checkbox that, when checked, gives this merchant an endless supply of this item to sell.
 === Scaling ===
-Merchants are scaled when first opened, but this can easily be reset by setting MERCHANT_IS_SCALED back to 0. Check out ScaleStoreItems in core_h.nss.
