Template:Character set box

style="background-color: #translucent; border-width: 3px; border: medium solid gray;"

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

Used with Template:chset-tableformat data rows to indicate a color for character code cells by Unicode classification.

This alternative is a boxed variant of Template:Character set color in order to indicate some other information in addition to the type: for example, a derivation from a base codepage, or a codepoint for which multiple definitions exist in some sources.

The default color of the box is gray, but can be changed by providing an optional parameter specifying the color.

Usage

For example, the first four ASCII letter characters "A" through "D" (Unicode U+0041 through U+0044, decimal 65 through 68) are coded as rows in a character set table like this:

| {{Character set box|letter}}|{{chset-cell3|0041|[[A]]|65}}
| {{Character set box|letter}}|{{chset-cell3|0042|[[B]]|66}}
| {{Character set box|letter}}|{{chset-cell3|0043|[[C]]|67}}
| {{Character set box|letter}}|{{chset-cell3|0044|[[D]]|68}}

| {{Character set box|letter|red}}|{{chset-cell3|0041|[[A]]|65}}

Parameters

Parameters	Description
`\|1=`	The type of character code. Possible types include: `\|1=letter` `\|1=digit` `\|1=graph` `\|1=punct` `\|1=undef` `\|1=ctrl` `\|1=misc` `\|1=esc`
`\|2=`	The color of the border.

Chset family of templates

See PETSCII, and Computer Braille Code for examples of usage.

Header and footer rows

Template:chset-table-header — Header and title row for a 16 column character set table
Template:chset-table-footer — Footer row for a 16 column character set table

Character row header

Template:chset-left — Left row code header

Character cell colors

Note: if adjusting these colors, reference Template:Chset-table-header/family-test-sheet for a reference of how well they work together, and whether base / variant / boxed / legend colors are properly in sync.

Template:Character set color

Boxed and slightly shaded variants of these exist in order to indicate some kind of additional information (depending on the article) like, for example, a derivation from a base codepage, a variance of definition of the corresponding codepage in different sources (to be explained in the article) or in different revisions of a code page

For generating colors for cells by Unicode category, this script may be helpful.

Please note that the boxed variants must not be used, if a cell, which is not to be marked, is surrounded by four cells, which need to be marked, as this would make the central cell appear marked as well. The shaded variants do not exhibit this problem.

Character cell contents

Template:chset-cell — Character cell with character + Unicode value
Template:chset-cell3 — Character cell with character + Unicode value + decimal index
Template:chset-cell4 — Character cell with character + Unicode value + decimal + octal index
Template:chset-ctrl — Control character cell with name + Unicode value
Template:chset-ctrl3 — Control character cell with name + Unicode value + decimal index
Template:chset-ctrl4 — Control character cell with name + Unicode value + decimal + octal index
Template:chset-cell-unified — Any of the above, plus optional kuten

Test table

The following colours should be in sync with one another and with the legend.
