Template:Color/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Color. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template can be used to specify the foreground color of a span of text. Acceptable values are RGB hex codes, e.g. #C9E72A, or any of the web colors: red, blue, green, moccasin, darkorchid, etc. To set the background color of a span of text, use {{background color}}.
Usage Edit
{{color|name of color or hex code of color|Text}}
For example:
If the second parameter is omitted, the color value is displayed as text:
Performance considerations Edit
The template generates an HTML span tag:
<span style="color:{{{1}}}">{{{2}}}</span>
It runs at speeds in excess of 700 per second, and so is functionally identical to using the HTML markup directly.
Template data Edit
See the monthly error report for this template.
