Pathfinder templates and a question about macros

Hi everybody. I'm trying to set up a Pathfinder campaign and i want to build some useful features to make the game relatively smooth and nice looking. I'm trying to understand how macros work and other things. First question regards templates. As I said I use pathfinder system. I would like to know how to add simple sub-header to the name of the standard template to track for example an item category or the level of a spell etc. I've seen other system templates (like D&D 5e) have this feature. Then I would like to know how to create a "label" to group my macros i.e. a button called "spells" that contains sub-groups of macros. Since I'm quite new to Roll20 despite many hours of experiments I would appreciate if u can paste a working exaples of what i asked. Imagine you are teaching to these things to a child :D. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks a lot =)

I'm not completely familiar with that sheet, but it looks like the template has a {{subtitle}} segment.  If you're editing an invocation you've copied from chat, you could add something to it. {&template:pf_generic} {{subtitle=My Subtitle Text}} {{character_name=Bob the Slayer}}{{name=The Aaron}}.... If you're wanting to add something to the result of pressing buttons on the character sheet, that would require editing the character sheet and having a custom character sheet.

The pathfinder character sheet exposes it's macros to the user for most things. So you wouldn't need to make a custom sheet. Also, the pathfinder sheet has book macros for attacks and spells that will do what I believe you want for your label question.

As Scott mentioned, the Pathfinder Sheet (if you use it in your campaign) has red buttons at the top of the sheet that will show menus in the chat area. Once you start filling out spells, a spellbook button will appear at the top as well. If you want to help translate the sheet to your language,  there is information here . the translation  files are here which has all the words, you don't need html. For each key, you supply the translation. We want people to start translating it, but so far no one is doing it.
Thanks for your answer. I was referring to the default template but your advice about pf_generic works well and is useful too. Chris I'm very new about everything here and I don't know how can I help in translation. I've taken a look to github but I don't know how to submit my translation.  Tell me exactly what I have to do and i'd be happy to contribute.

Gianmarco, feel free to send a PM to either  Chris  or  myself (just copy/paste your translated text into the PM using the "code" formatting option) and we'll make sure to update the Pathfinder folder on github.  Thank you for making the first translation of the PF sheet!  Now we can figure out if we need to adjust any of the code.  Cheers

Yes, you just change the text on the right side ONLY of each set of key-value pairs in that file. The right side is printed to the screen, so change that to your language, save the file (making sure it is in UTF-8 mode). Open it up and make sure it looks correct (especially any characters that are not in the 26 letter Roman alphabet English uses), then send it by as vince says, if we have a problem we'll give you our personal emails and you can attach the file. example of setting the character set in Notepad on Windows: f fffrdd example of setting code: 
"cs-nature":"Nature", "cs-perception":"Perception", "cs-nature":"Natura", "cs-perception":"Percezione", So I have to translate the word on the right and then paste lines as code here or save the file as a txt on windows notepad with UTF-8 encoding and send to you?
