Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Shows a legend row with a two colored box. Complimentary to the one color legend template.

Usage[edit source]

{{Legend striped|top color|bottom color|label|outline=outline color|border=css border}}
  • top color and bottom color are passed to the css background-color property of the color box. These fields are required.
  • label is optional, and adds text to the right of the box. Text may be ''italic'', '''bold''', or [[wikilinked]] as well.
  • The optional outline parameter is the color of the outline around the box.
  • If you need to customize the border further, you can use the border argument, which overrides the outline argument and sets the css description (e.g., 1px solid #aaa) of the border that will be drawn around the box.

Additionally, editors can specify several other optional fields:

  • size: sizes should be in terms of em, px, or pt. 1.5em is the default.
  • up: will make the diagonal line go from bottom left to top right. The default is top left to bottom right.
  • text: will put one or two characters of text inside the box. If using one character, a non-breaking space ( ) will help center it. The color of this text may also be specified with the field textcolor. Will not work with up field.
