If you have a token owned by the character selected, you can use @{selected|character_name}. If you want to get a popup to select a character you can use @{target|character_name}.

If you ever use tokens that don't represent a character sheet for some reason (or multiple tokens with different names that all represent a single character sheet), you could use token_name in place of character_name.

mainly here on the forums, and the wiki. The wiki does have a lot of basic information that everyone should read. For non-roll20 specific stuff, like javascript and html, just googling and again, here on the forums.
