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 w:en:web colors: red, blue, green, moccasin, darkorchid, etc.
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.
