Party shading templates should be made compatible with HTML5-compatible alignment markup
[edit]A typical party shading template is {{Party shading/Green}}
, which inserts: style="background:#17aa5c"
; this markup is usually used in table cells. But what if there is a need to align the table cell? Before HTML5, it was acceptable to center with align="center"
, and that works fine with these templates. Under HTML5, this is considered obsolete, and now we're supposed to use style="text-align:center"
, but that doesn't work with these templates. For example,
{|class="wikitable" | a large cell so that centering the next cell down will be apparent |- | align=center {{Party shading/Green}} | Joe Smith (HTML4 center) |- | style="text-align:center" {{Party shading/Green}} | Joe Smith (HTML5 center) |}
a large cell so that centering the next cell down will be apparent |
Joe Smith (HTML4 center) |
Joe Smith (HTML5 center) |
Recommendation: Modify each of these templates to allow for an alignment option. The syntax could be
{{Party shading/Green|center}}
{{Party shading/Green|align=center}}
Please discuss and let's see if there's a consensus. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:13, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
