Template:Tbc

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Tbc/doc.

Table for colors (not an IDC-10 disease)
Creates a table to describe the colors, for flags or other colored items
May be within another table, as a files {{Information}} box or the {{Infobox flag}} description (example)
The displayed color box is tooltipped to show the #rrggbb- or #rgb-color code.

For the R/G/B-values is the decimal notation required, because it is easy to convert decimal to hexadecimal, but very laborious to convert from hexadecimal (see #With Igen).
The hexadecimal values are displayed when the cursor is moved to the box.

Usage

{{Tbc |1= |2= |3= |4= |5= |pixel= }}

Best usage is within the {{Information}} description of the file, using the parameter other_fields (example).
Use bit 8 to create a field name, either with text= or the defaults of {{I18n/Colors}};
otherwise see more about how to use at the documentation of {{Information field}}.

Localization

This template is not intended to be localized.

With Igen

To use it with the templates Image generation or ColorString, Igen/cbx uses Lua modules to convert the color codes from hex to dec.
Special values for Tbc-parameter 1 allow to separate table initiation (code B, and F for single line) and termination (code 6),
while all table rows are specified as "medium lines" (code 0). The default field name is always generated.

See the description at Template:Image generation#Tbc.
