Template talk:TextColors

Help/Usage moved

The help/usage that was here is now found on Template:TextColors // FrankB 20:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC) for user:Patrick

Okay, so maybe it took a year, but I've copied the documentation ("help/usage" as you call it) to Template:TextColors/doc. I've made the edit request below replace the entire documentation information with the {{Documentation}} template (which loads Template:TextColors/doc on the template page automatically). This way, the documentation subpage can be edited without needing to request an edit to a protected page. Categories and interwiki should be added to the documentation subpage. --Lightsup55 ( T | C ) 19:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Edit request

{{editprotected}}

Please remove the usage section (and other text inside the <noinclude></noinclude> tags) and replace it with the {{Documentation}} template as I've created a documentation subpage at Template:TextColors/doc. A specific description of the request follows below. Thanks.

Change this:

{| style="background:{{{2}}};"
|<span style="color: {{{1}}}">{{{3}}}</span>
|}<noinclude>
{{commonstmp}}
==Usage==
Guts: 
'''<nowiki> {| style="background:{{{2}}};" | <span style="color: {{{1}}}">{{{3}}}</span> |} </nowiki>'''

Sets foreground and background [[web colors|colors]] of a given text. They can be specified by name or in the format #dddddd (RGB hex triplet).

Unless in the case of personal use on a user page, use this template with great caution:
*a poor contrast may make the text difficult or impossible to read
*the contrast can be experienced as even poorer in the case of [[color blindness]]
*links have a color according to user settings; they become invisible if this color is equal to the background color

==Examples==

<nowiki>{{co|#ffffff|#000000|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|#ffffff|#000000|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}} 

<nowiki>{{co|#aa0000|#009999|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|#aa0000|#009999|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}} 

<nowiki>{{co|white|black|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|white|black|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}} 

<nowiki>{{co|yellow|grey|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|yellow|grey|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}} 

<nowiki>{{co|blue|silver|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|blue|silver|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}} 

<nowiki>{{co|grey|yellow|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|grey|yellow|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}} 

<nowiki>{{co|black|aqua|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}</nowiki> gives: {{co|black|aqua|From [[Wikipedia]], the free [[encyclopedia]].}}
