Table background ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Notes:

  1. This table background template requires a parameter.
  2. Different from element cell backgrounds, they are not intended to be in a legend.

Usage:

  • {{Element color/Table|header}} → #e0e0e0
The parameter spec is also the first unnamed parameter:
  • {{Element color/Table|header}} → #e0e0e0


ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Element color/Table/Overview

The default value (returned when the first parameter is not recognised) is background:

  • {{Element color/Table|}} → #f8f8f8.
This default can be overridden by parameter:
  • {{Element color/Table|default=#a0f4c0}} → #f8f8f8

The return values are complete color values to be used as a CSS style, including the # but not the ; character.

Template by parameter: {{element color|...}} ସମ୍ପାଦନା

All colors are also available via the simple template {{element color|...}}. That is, enter the color's meaningful name as a parameter to the template:

The outcome (color id) is the same. The template is a bit more lax for the input (any capitalisation accepted, also singular accepted).

Deprecated or unknown meaning ସମ୍ପାଦନା

Do not use these color names. In general, it is advised to use a more specific, meaningfull color name. These color names are not used in main space, and most are redirected to an other color.
