Template:Color/doc

This is a subpage documenting Template:Color. To change the template, edit that page; to change the template's documentation (seen below), edit this one.

Documentation

This template outputs the character # (as the HTML entity #) followed by its input. It is used to specify CSS colors by hex code in the templates that call this one directly (namely, {{background-color of}} and {{border-color of}}). It is necessary in these situations to avoid the number sign being interpreted as wiki markup.

This template is used on a great many pages. Making any changes to it will cause lots of jobs to be added to the processing queue.

Usage

• {{color|xxx}}
• {{color|xxxxxx}}

Each x represents a single hexadecimal digit (0–9 or a–f, case insensitive).

Examples

• {{color}} ⇒ #
• {{color|fff}} ⇒ #fff
• {{color|60c99f}} ⇒ #60c99f

As seen in the first example, there is no default color number provided by the template.
